1 Injured in Nil'in Demonstration

Photos by Haitham Khatib

FFJ - At 3pm on Tuesday, July 15th, villagers from Nil'in--along with members of neighboring

popular committees, Israeli activists, and internationals--marched through their olive groves
to the construction site of the apartheid fence, where Israeli soldiers assaulted them with tear-gas and
rubber-coated steel bullets. Mohamed Amera, member of the popular committee in Nil'in, was shot at close
range with a rubber-coated steel bullet. The bullet, which was imbedded in his arm, was removed at a
hospital in Ramallah.

In other news, the Israeli military has abducted two members of the popular committee in Nil'in,
in an attempt to intimidate the local population and quell the recent surges in popular resistance.
Hassan Yusef Mosa and Salah Mohamed Tayeh Hawaje were kidnapped from their homes, and are still in custody,
presumably without charge.

Despite these obstacles, the people of Nil'in are committed to continuing their struggle against the
confiscation of their land and the construction of the fence. A large demonstration will take place
this Thursday, July 17th, at 11am.
