Dozens of demonstrators marched against the wall and in solidarity with Jerusalem and Sheikh Jarrah, on the two-year anniversary to the state-sponsored eviction of two Palestinian families from their homes by Jewish settlers.

The protesters, Palestinians, Israelis and internationals as one, marched through the village's streets on their way to the wall, carrying flags and pictures of the prisoners of the popular struggle, chanting slogans of national unity and against the occupation and specifically the attack on Jerusalem.

As they arrived to the gate in the wall, demonstrators found soldiers in large forces positioned both behind concrete barricades, seemingly ready for battle, and right behind the gate, which they have shut closed with razor-wire.

As protesters tried to cross the gate to their own lands, soldiers began shooting tear-gas projectiles, concussion grenades and rubber-coated bullets at them from all directions, and clashes ensued.

Three people were lightly injured as a result of the army's attack – two in the arm from tear-gas projectiles and one in the head from a baton blow.
