RAMALLAH (Ma'an) – Dozens of Palestinians were inhaled with tear gas as Israeli forces cracked down on Friday's weekly demonstration in the village of Bilin in Ramallah and Al-Bireh district. Occupied Israeli West Bank fired tear gas canisters and stun grenades to quell Bilin's weekly march against Israeli settlement activities and the expansion of the Israeli separation wall. Israeli international peace activists have took part in the march organized by the local people's committee against the separation wall and settlements, protesters waved Palestinian flags and called slogans calling for Palestinian unity, resistance to the Israeli occupation and the release of all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.Bilin is one of the Palestinian villages most active in the peaceful opposition organized against Israeli policy every Friday for 12 consecutive years, and have often been confronted with tear gas, rubber-co steel bullets and sound grenades of Israeli forces .
