The residents were joined by many international and Israeli peace activists. Israeli troops manning the wall and the gate in the wall that cuts off the villagers from their lands showered the protesters with tear gas and rubber coated steal bullets as soon as the protesters arrived at a military blockade nearby.
In addition, when the protestors arrived back to the village, Israeli troops attacked them at the entrance of the village with rifle butts and batons. Eyewitnesses told IMEMC that soldiers also used sprayed the eyes of the peace protesters with pepper spray.

And the guy in the wheelchair, does he deserve a tear gas canister under his disabled legs, too? C'mon now... this shit is ridiculous, anyone with any sense can see that.... I was at this weekly protest just this friday and i know how it goes... The only people throwing stones are the kids from the village and they go off in an entirely diferent direction so as not to pass the responsibility on to any of the protesters. Besides... the tear gas comes way before the stone throwing...
Actually cohenami, my country is Palestine. So no... And I've lived pretty much around the world all my life and NO, they would not have done the same. Beating a man and kicking him in the face for protesting and then resisting his wrongful arrest (even if 'wrongful is a matter of opinion for you) is not usually in the handbook, my friend
