 Dozens suffer from the tear gas inhalation   in thr third demonstration  in ramadan and people of nilin village continue their struggle under the hot wither also its ramadan.

after friday prayers under the olive trees near the land which is confiscated by the israeli military ,the demonstration began with  international peace activests and the israeli activests who came  in solidarity with the people of nilin heading towards the area of the wall to protest against the buliding of the aparthied wall on their lands,and the demonstrators carrying the  weels(tires) to fire it at the gate of the wall to  show the blake color and the sadness of the people of nilin about their lands inside the wall which they never reached it to clean it and farm it,and also the israeli military fired the olive trees  inside the wall before 2 weeks.

however, the demonstrators reached the gate of the concreet wall and started shouting and  firing the weels to show the blak color and consider about their sadness  and they told the soldiers we are here and  we will show you that we are still here steadfast on our lands and we will make a lot of demonstrations forever until we tear the wall  down and get back our lands.and we want to reach our lands to farm it .that sadness because the israeli military stole nilin’s land and they didn’t give any permit for anyone to go inside the wall to farm the land,and this is like a punishment for nilin’s people and to agone us.

Then the israeli military started shooting tear gas at the demonstrators by a Heavely way which led to get 4 demonstrators  shot by inhalations of the tear gas.

After  that ahuge number of the israeli  soldiers were dissappearing in the fileds and they were making a plane to catch and arrest as much as they can from the demonstrators but after we descovered them and their plans and saw them in the fields every one escaped to  the village and the soldiers started  running towards the demonstrators to catch and arrest them.

But they arrested 7 people among them the medical team and 2 photographers the first one is an israeli actevest and the other one is the photographer of nilin popular committee against the aparthied wall.the arrrested them for half an hour then they realesed them.
