The Israeli army has just killed two peaceful anti-wall demonstrators in Bidu, near Jerusalem.

The two are:
Mohmmed Sabel Rayan from Beit Duqqu village
Zakariya Eyad from Beit Iksa village

They were shot today during a demonstration. The demonstration is continuing. All the people, including
women, children, internationals and Israeli activists are down on the land demonstrating against the Wall.

The activists fear that the Israeli army will kill more people today!!

Since yesterday the people went together with their bodies only to confront the bulldozers. Yesterday 11 people were shot with live bullets and taken to hopsital and 7 others injured by beatings and rubber bullets. ISM founder Huwaida Arraf was punched in the face by a soldier and then arrested. She is in court today.

Please do something about this.

Two Palestinians killed by IDF during anti-fence protest

Two Palestinians were killed Thursday and dozens were wounded when Israel Defense Forces soldiers clashed with thousands of protestors against the separation fence in the West Bank village of Bidu, west of Jerusalem, Palestinian sources said.

The injured include a 75-year-old man and a ten-year-old.

Three Border Police troops were also wounded in the clashes. Two were reportedly beaten by Palestinians and one was hit by a rock.

Thursday marked the second consecutive day of anti-fence protests centered around Bidu and the nearby village of Beit Suriq.

Stone-throwing youths initially succeeded in forcing back troops in a jeep and bulldozers which had arrived to prepare the ground to put up fencing, witnesses said.

But reinforcements were brought in and the forces fired live ammunition, as well as rubber-coated metal bullets and tear gas canisters at the demonstrators, witnesses said.

Bidu Mayor Mohammed Kandil said two Palestinian demonstrators were killed. A medical official said six people had been wounded by live fire and another five had been hit by rubber-coated metal bullets.
