RAMALLAH, April 6, 2007 (WAFA) - 14 citizens were wounded on Friday from rubber bullets and concussion grenades as Israeli soldiers attacked Palestinian, Israeli and international solidarity activists who marched to the Apartheid Wall in Bil'in.

International Solidarity Movement (ISM) said in a press release that Palestinian children began the march, holding banners and singing songs of freedom. When the demonstration reached the gate in the Apartheid Wall, Israeli soldiers were already awaiting their arrival.

Before any rocks were thrown by Palestinians, says ISM, and with the children still near the front of the march, soldiers began throwing concussion grenades.

It added that Israeli soldiers then arrested Jonathan, an Israeli activist. Martin, an American human rights worker, said, "I saw the whole thing. Just after the army started firing sound bombs, they grabbed Jonathan, who was just standing to the side of the soldiers. He wasn't throwing rocks or anything. The soldiers started to take him behind the wall. 'What did I do? I didn't do anything,' Jonathan was saying."

The army continued to fire tear gas and rubber bullets down the hill. Demonstrators who were standing next to the soldiers were chanting, "Shame on you!" and, "They're just kids!" Ten of these demonstrators, a mix of Palestinian, Israeli, and internationals, then stood in front of the soldiers, preventing them from continuing their shooting. After 5 minutes, the soldiers retreated back towards the Apartheid Wall.

Soldiers near the Wall then started firing sound bombs toward the demonstrators near the Wall.
