A female demonstrator has died in hospital following clashes with the Israeli Army in Bil'in during a protest against the building of a separation wall.
The woman, named as 36 year-old Jawahir Abu Ramah, died in hospital after inhaling tear gas which was fired by Israeli troops during the protest. Locals claimed that the demonstration was non-violent and Israeli forces fired tear gas without provocation.
A local spokesperson for the PFLP claimed that the tear gas which was used by Israeli troops has been banned in several European countries.
Around 1,000 people took part in the protest yesterday. Israeli soldiers attempted to disperse the crowd with tear-gas. One Palestinian youth was shot in the face with a gas canister and required medical treatment. Protests against the separation wall occur almost weekly in Bil'in. The wall was declared illegal in 2004 by the International Court of Justice.
