The weekly demonstration in Ni'lin set off as always with a prayer in the village's land, and then a march to the wall route with approx 50 Palestinians, 5 Israeli and the same number of internationals. a number of youth threw stones and soldiers responded with tear gas. No injuries were recorded and the demonstration ended after around an hour.
Following the afternoon prayers, residents of the adjacent village of Shuqba, were joined by Israelis, internationals and a contingent of protesters from Ni'lin for a march and protest against the illegal Israeli quarry which is eating away at the village's land. approximately 150 protesters approached the Natuf quarry, and dismantled barbed wire surrounding it. Israeli soldiers and border police officers stationed at the quarry fired tear gas canisters at the protesters, setting large scale fires that spread through the dry weeds. A number of youth threw some stones at the soldiers, but the long distance between the two groups meant the clashes were very low key, unlike the events at last week's protest, when a private security guard fired dozens of live rounds at a group of Palestinian protesters, injuring one with a ricochet. No injuries were recorded.
