The Bil'in Popular Committee Against the Wall yet again led the weekly civilian  demonstration against the apartheid wall, after local Palestinians prayed Jummah on the first Friday of Ramadan.  Fifty international supporters along with Israeli activists joined non-violent Palestinian demonstrators to protest the Israeli occupation. Together, they marched with Palestinian flags and posters of political prisoners from the village, many arrested through night raids. These prisoners have mostly been arrested for the sole "crime" of being active organizers in the non-violent popular struggle. 

As the demonstrators marched towards the apartheid fence, they chanted phrases to stop the construction of the wall that is annexing land from Bi'iln in order for Israel to build illegal settlements.  When the demonstrators reached the apartheid fence, large numbers of Israeli soldiers were waiting armed with weapon and riot gear.  After protestors and the Israeli army met face to face, the soldiers began shooting tear gas and sound bombs into the crowd.  They continued to shoot tear gas up on the hill where spectators thought they were in safe range.  Eventually, the IDF ran into part of the crowd and began shooting rubber coated steel bullets.   One Israeli woman was hit by a tear gas  canister in her leg.  Dozens suffered from tear gas inhalation as soldiers attempted to arrest demonstrators. However, nobody was arrested.  The demonstration lasted about two hours, and huge success considering multiple protestors were fasting for Ramadan.
