2 IDF officers, 16 demonstrators hurt in Bil'in anti-fence protest

By Nir Hasson, Haaretz Correspondent

Two Israel Defense Forces officers and 16 demonstrators - 14 Palestinians and two Israelis - were wounded Friday during a demonstration against the West Bank separation fence near the Palestinian village of Bil'in.

Roughly 100 Israeli, Palestinian, and foreign protesters stage demonstrations against the construction of the fence near Bil'in every Friday.

According to the demonstrators, the protest was peaceful until they approached the fence and soldiers responded by throwing stun grenades at them.

According to the IDF, the clashes erupted after protestors began throwing stones at security forces in the area.

One of the IDF officers broke his leg while chasing one of the protesters, while the other was wounded in his leg by a stone thrown by a demonstrator.

Two of the Palestinians were injured by rubber bullets - on in his arm and the other in his stomach - and were taken to a Ramallah hospital for treatment.

The two Israeli wounded were evacuated to Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer.
