<p>BETHLEHEM, (PIC)&#8211; Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested seven participants in a peaceful protest march in Walaja village, west of Bethlehem, on Wednesday, local sources said.</p>
<p>Member of the popular committee to resist the wall and settlement in the village Ala’a Al-Daras said that a massive march started from the village and headed to its agricultural land where the soldiers were bulldozing the area to prepare for construction of a section of the segregation wall.</p>
<p>He said that the soldiers assaulted the participants beating them with batons and rifle butts leading to a violent confrontation during which seven participants including five foreigners were arrested.</p>
<p>Daras explained that the IOF soldiers tried to foil the march by installing a road barrier at the entrance to the village.</p>
<p>IOF bulldozers had started leveling vast areas of Ein Juwaize area in Walaja village on Tuesday to pave the way for the construction of a section of the separation wall and uprooted tens of fruitful trees in the process.</p>
<p>The soldiers detained a Mexican delegation that included MPs and journalists after trying to prevent the soldiers from destroying the trees and the cultivated land lots.</p>
