In the village of Beit Jalla, a group of around 30 Palestinians, Israelis and various foreign nationals held a protest to stop the work of bulldozers, which had started to uproot trees and level the land the previous day in preparation for building construction. The Israeli army used force to disperse the protesters. Beit Jalla, Palestinian Territory. 03/03/2010.

On 03.03.2010, a group of around 30 Palestinians, Israelis and internationals held an action to stop the work of the bulldozers, which have started to uproot trees and level lands the day before. As soon as the group reached the land, the Israeli soldiers violently pushed them up. The group then sat down and refused to move further, but the Israeli army used force to push them out the area. 300 dunums owned by 35 families are subject to confiscation, for the purpose of building the Wall. Beit Jala has already lost three quarters of its lands because of the building of the road 60 and the Gilo settlement. Photo by Activestills.org
