This week at the weekly protest in Bil'in, intentions were clear from the start. While demonstrators, set on crossing the wall to their lands, had a tractor with them, marked by a sign saying "Let us work on our lands", border police officers had occupied the high rooftop of a house inside the village, and were present in larger numbers than usual along the route of the march.
As the march reached the wall, but was unable to continue forward under the routine of Friday's closed military zone, demonstrators started pulling away and dismantling the razor wire that was blocking the gate.
