<div id="divImageDesc">A pro-Palestinian activist holds signs in English and Arabic reading &#8220;Welcome to Palestine&#8221; at Ben-Gurion international airport near Tel Aviv, Israel Friday, July 8, 2011.</div>
<div id="divLead">Israeli forces have reportedly attacked peaceful pro-Palestinian demonstrators, including some foreign activists, in the occupied West Bank.</div>
<p>The clashes took place on Saturday at the entrance of the Qalandiya checkpoint near Rammallah, a Press TV correspondent reported.</p>
<p>Activists were chanting slogans calling for an end to the illegal occupation, saying that the Palestinian refugees across the world have a legal right to return to their homeland.</p>
<p>Israeli forces fired teargas in an attempt to disperse the demonstrators.</p>
<p>Moreover, the rally coincides with the seventh anniversary of a ruling by the International Court of Justice that considers the construction of Israel&#8217;s apartheid wall as illegal.</p>
<p>Some of the foreign activists who attended the rally were amongst those that managed to enter Israel without being noticed by the Israeli police at Tel Aviv&#8217;s Ben Gurion Airport.</p>
<p>However, Israeli authorities arrested at least 120 pro-Palestinian activists upon their arrival at the airport.</p>
<p>&#8220;Over 120 passengers were denied entry and are awaiting deportation for security reasons, they will leave within the next 24-48 hours,&#8221; Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said on Saturday.</p>
<p>The activists were part of the pro-Palestinian &#8220;Welcome to Palestine&#8221; campaign, and organized the “flytilla” to Israel after Greece in collusion with Israel slashed their hopes of sailing to the Gaza Strip.</p>
