As soon as protesters reached the Apartheid-Annexation Wall, they were attacked by Israeli Occupation Forces firing inordinate amounts of tear gas which resulted in fierce, wind-driven fires in the tinder-dry vegetation, bushes and olive trees in the firing zone which destroyed some twenty trees and bushes. In the immediate aftermath of the demonstration, five army jeeps made an incursion into village lands and occupation soldiers arrested Ashraf Abu Rahmah when he peacefully remonstrated with them - two of these jeeps peeled off to invade the village for a short period. Ashraf is currently detained in Israel's Ofer prison near Ramallah on, no doubt, trumped-up charges.
Free Ashraf Abu Rahmah!
