Some 20 protestors were hurt at the weekly anti-separation fence demonstration at the West Bank village of Bil'in.

According to protestors, 16 people were treated for inhaling tear gas and fours others from injuries caused by rubber-tipped bullets fired security forces.

Anarchists against the Wall leader, Jonathan Pollak, said security forces opened fire with rubber-tipped bullets and tear gas before protestors reached the peripheral barbed wire fence from which point.

Pollak said six people were detained, two after crossing the said fence, and they were charged with trespassing closed military area. Later the charges were changed to assault, despite video footage disproving the claim, Pollak said.
