The October days, revealing even hotter than these at the summer height, did not prevent the ongoing campaign against the wall and the occupation – with the three repeating demonstrations in Bilin, Maasarah & Ni'ilin.

The march went from the village to the newly laid concrete wall - to meet the soldiers threatening the demonstrators from its other side on a new high rampart. Two international activists, and an Israeli photographer were arrested.

 Opening a gap in the wall, Ni'ilin

About 300 protestors: Israeli, Palestinian and international atteneded the weekly demo against the appartheid wall in Ni‘lin. In an impressive joint collective action the protestors have succeeded in moving one of the wall blocks (weighing a few tons!), causing substantial damage to the wall, and opening a gap in which a person can pass.
In the past month the army had constructed the aforementioned cement wall (similar to the one in Kalkilia area) that seperates between the villages‘ agricultural lands, in which the demos take place, and the electronic wall that is situated in the heart of these lands.
