<div id="divLead"><em>Hundreds  of Palestinians and international peace activists have held a protest  rally against the Israeli separation wall in the occupied West Bank,  calling for the destruction of the illegal barrier. </em></div>
<p>Protesters say Israel has forcibly and illegally captured land owned  by Palestinians to construct the &#8216;apartheid wall,&#8217; which will cut  villagers off from vast stretches of their land and restricts their  movement.</p>
<p>Tel Aviv has captured nearly 60 percent of Bilin village, near the  West Bank city of Ramallah, to build the separation wall and illegal  Jewish settlements.</p>
<p>Palestinians hold peaceful anti-wall and anti-settlement protests in  Bilin every Friday, but Israeli troops often use violence to disperse  the protesters.</p>
<p>Last week, a 35-year old Palestinian woman was killed after Israeli  troops attacked the peaceful demonstration in the village. Ten other,  including international activists, were also injured in the attack.</p>
<p>Palestinian sources say Jawaher Abu Rahma, died of tear gas  inhalation. The American-made CS tear gas canister that caused the death  has long been banned.</p>
<p>Jawaher is the third member of the Abu Rahma family to be killed  during anti-barrier protests. Two of her brothers, Ashraf and Bassem,  were also killed after Israeli troops opened fire on peaceful  protesters.</p>
<p>Tel Aviv began constructing the West Bank separation wall in 2000.  The International Court of Justice says the wall is illegal and should  be taken down.</p>
