A thousand demonstrators gather to commemorate the 5 year struggle in Bil’in

A large crowd of demonstrators is seen during a demonstration marking the 5th anniversary of the struggle against the Wall on Friday, 19.02.2010.
More than 1000 Palestinians, Israelis and internationals gathered. Demonstrators managed to get to the fence, dismantle a large section down, and cross the wall, placing a Palestinian flag on top of an Israel Defense Forces outpost,. The Israeli soldiers responded by spreading water with chemicals which provoke unbearable smell, shooting scores of tear gas canisters.
