The women of the town of Ni’lin protest the construction of the separation wall through the village. They were restrained physically by soldiers after asking to peacefully go back to their land, and were gassed with tear gas and hit with rifle butts by the Israeli Army. The wall through Ni’lin is being constructed for the safety and security of the Israeli settlement on Palestinian land that can be seen in the background. Later, the men in the area used rocks and branches to create a roadblock that would slow the passage of the machines that will build the wall. If the construction is completed, the village of Ni’lin will lose 20% of its land. Read Hannah’s blog.
