Bil'in weekly demonstration.

There were dozens of cases of asphyxia in the weekly march organized by the Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements in Bil'in. Dozens of Palestinians, international activists and Israeli peace activists took part in the demonstration. Despite the heat and fasting of Ramadan, the march began after Friday prayers from the center of the village and headed towards the land that was liberated and especially Abu Lemon natural reserve. A tractor carried many park benches and rubbish bins. Participants raised Palestinian flags and chanted slogans calling for the end of the Israeli occupation, the destruction of the Apartheid Wall and adherence to the Palestinian rights.

The participants put many of the wooden benches and rubbish bins under the oak trees in Abu Lemon, in preparation for it to be a public park for the Palestinians and the people of Bil'in. The occupation forces were stationed behind the concrete wall and fired tear gas at the participants and sprayed them with foul chemicals, as participants in the march walked along the concrete wall, directing shouts through megaphones to the settlers in the settlement of Mattiaho Mzrah built on the lands of Bil'in, calling for them to leave and return to their original homeland and return the land to the Palestinians.
