<p><em>Troops  used tear gas and sound bombs to stop a protest people organized in  Hebron old city. Scores of Palestinians along with international and  Israeli supporters marched in Hebron old city on Friday demanding the  opening of Shuhada Street there. Israeli keeps the street closed for  Palestinians since 10 years and only allows settlers to use it.</em></p>
<p>As  people reached Shuhada street soldiers attacked them and arrested ten,  including a Palestinian journalist. Many were injured by the soldiers  attack. The protest ended  as local youth clashes with Israeli soldiers.  Palestinian police which control parts of the city, stopped the  Palestinian youth and did not allow journalists to document, witnesses  told PNN.</p>
<p>In the village of al-Ma’ssara, between  Bethlehem and Hebron, soldiers stopped people from reaching their lands  Israel is building the wall on; protesters were forced back to the  village by soldiers. Israeli and international supporters joined the  villagers in al-Ma’ssara for their weekly anti wall protest.</p>
<p>In  central West Bank villages of Bil’in, Nil’in and Nabi Saleh today’s  protests against the wall condemned the US veto on anti settlement  resolution by the UN Security council last week and in support of the  Libyan people.</p>
<p>In Bil’in, As has been the case every  Friday for the past six years, international and Israeli supporters  joined the villagers after the midday prayers and marched up to the gate  of the wall separating villagers from their lands.</p>
<p>Soldiers  stationed at the wall-gate attacked people with tear gas and rubber  coated steel bullets, one man form Bil’in was injured in his hand and  many others were treated for the effects of tear gas inhalation. In 2007  the Israeli high court of justice ruled that the Annexation wall in  Bil’in was illegal and should be rerouted giving the villagers half of  the lands taken to build the wall. The army still refuses to implement  the court order.<br />
In the nearby village of Nil’in Israeli and  international supporters marched with villagers after midday prayers to  the wall. A number of protesters suffered the effects of tear gas  inhalation.</p>
<p>Two men were slightly injured another  Israeli activist was arrested by Israeli soldiers as they attacked the  weekly anti wall and settlements protest in the village Nabi Saleh.  Soldiers forced people back to the village using tear gas and sound  bombs then attacked people’s homes with tear gas. The weekly protest  ended with clashes between local youth and soldiers.</p>
