<p>Despite pounding rain and aggressive repression tactics employed by  the army, the village of Nabi Saleh marched Friday in solidarity with  the people of Egypt. The demonstration was also in honor of 14 year Nabi  Saleh resident Islam Tamimi, who was arrested in a night raid in the  village almost three weeks ago and remains in jail.</p>

<p>Even  before the demonstration was slated to begin, the army had taken  positions inside the small village of Nabi Saleh, located just west of  Ramllah. Soldiers briefly detained three Israeli supporters around 10:30  in the morning inside the village. The activists were taken to the  village entrance and told to leave and not return. They were able to  enter from a different point and join the demonstration later in the  day.Dozens of Palestinian, international and Israeli activists marched  holding posters of 14 year Islam Tamimi, who has been in an Israeli  military jail for almost three weeks. The demonstration was also in  solidarity with the people of Egypt. Across the West Bank, popular  committees held demonstrations in solidarity with Egypt.</p>
<p>The demonstration was attacked with tear gas, the same American made  gas used against protesters Egypt and Tunisa, before reaching the main  junction of the village. Soldiers then took over the square of the  village and forced protesters into the olive grooves surrounding Nabi  Saleh. Despite the pounding rain, soldiers maintained positions inside  the village until five in the evening.</p>
<p>Two international activists were detained for roughly three hours  during the demonstration and no injuries other than tear gas inhalation  were reported. The village has been suffering serious repression by the  Israeli army over the past month. Weekly night raids, the systemic  arrest of children and threaten popular committee leaders has become a  mainstay of life in Nabi Saleh. Despite this, the people still resist  the Israeli occupation and march in solidarity with the people of Egypt  and Tunsia who are fighting for the spirit of freedom.</p>
