Israeli army forces have injured three Palestinian demonstrators protesting against the Apartheid Wall in two separate West Bank villages.
Three people were injured and dozens suffered from tear gas inhalation when Israeli troops attacked Palestinian villagers and international activists during the weekly non-violent protests against the wall in the villages of Bil'in near the central West Bank city of Ramallah and in Ni'lin on Friday.
The protesters marched toward Israeli bulldozers involved in the wall's construction, after which Israeli troops attacked them with tear gas and rubber-coated bullets.
Three protesters were wounded in Bil'in and scores were treated for the effects of tear gas inhalation in the two villages, International Middle East Media Center reported.
The protesters demanded the halt of illegal Israeli expansion and the construction of the wall.
The villagers pleaded that human right groups intervene in the cases of those kidnapped by Israeli army forces from the villages. The army attacked Bil'in this week and last week and kidnapped a dozen civilians, including five children.
Over the last two months, the Israeli army has abducted more than 100 Palestinians from occupied West Bank cities and villages.
With their banners, protesters condemned the violent Israeli policies against civilians and the destruction of around 60 percent of the village lands.
The villages have witnessed regular protests by Palestinians and foreign activists who oppose the illegal construction of the barrier.
