A-Infos (en) Palestine-Israel, The third Intifada collect momentum - this week with prisoners at its center (it)

In spite of the reluctant of the Palestinian ruling elite, the third Intifada collect 
momentum. In Hebron, the pictures of the Shuhada yearly joint action show a chain of 
Palestinian Authority soldiers blocking the Palestinian demonstrators from clashing with 
the Israeli state force. However, the general mounting tension, the long hunger striking 
prisoners, the initiatives of the popular comities... and the Israeli "punishments" 
together with settler colonialists terror actions feed the gradual escalation. It is not 
sure yet if it will explode like a powder keg which got a spark or just escalate 
gradually. The regular locations of joint week end struggle persist with some new ones not 
yet regular.

"Clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli Army/border police are taking place in

locations. Dozens of injuries and several arrests reported."

Bil'in

This Friday too many Bil'in activists went to demonstrate in Hebron and in front of Ofer 
prison. Thus, the demo was small, but even a peaceful march escorted by Hanna's lovely 
trumpet suffered several rounds of gas. In the meantime, further south, a handful of 
shabab was busy climbing the wall, and diverting the soldiers' attention with stones

Jayyous

Jayyous Weekly Demonstration: Reclaiming the Dignity of the Land
"The people of Jayyous invite you to join our weekly demonstrations against the re-routing 
of the wall further into Jayyous land. The new rout of the wall is in violation of 
Israel's own supreme court, which in 2009 decided it should be moved to the so-called 
Green Line. The work on the new rout has already begun, and it will annex 300 Dunams of 
Jayyous land, uprooting over a 1000 olive trees. Additionally, settlers have placed 6 
caravans, expanding the Tsofim settlement on our land. We are asking every one of you to 
come and be part of our popular resistance to reclaim our land and its dignity.
See you at the Jayyous main mosque, Friday after prayer."
Jayyous Youth Committee

After midday prayer, around 150 residents from Jayyous, joined by a handful of Israeli and 
International activists, marched from the center of the village towards the fence located 
on the outskirts of Jayyous.
Soon after protesters reached the area, Israeli army and border police started to shoot 
tear gas canisters at the crowd. As clashes erupted, Israeli forces chased the 
demonstrators through the fields while shooting more tear gas canisters, making them run 
back and forward. One of the protesters was hit by a tear gas canister in his back and was 
taken away by an ambulance. Confrontations lasted until sunset.
Last Friday, Jayyous, a village located northeast of Qalqilya, began to hold weekly 
demonstrations against the re-routing of the Wall and expansion of the nearby Jewish-only 
settlement of Tsofim. Settlers from Tsofim have recently created an outpost of six 
caravans, expanding the settlement westward, on the village's land. Additionally, the new 
route of the Wall will annex 300 more dunums of Jayyous land.

Kufr Qaddum

Friday. Over 100 residents from Kufr Qaddum, together with Israeli activists, participated 
in today’s demonstration, dedicated to Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike. After 
midday prayers, protesters marched from the center of the village up the main road leading 
to Qedumim settlement. Confrontations erupted between demonstrators and Israeli forces, 
which shot large quantities of tear gas canisters, resulting in dozens of protesters 
suffering from suffocation. The demonstration finished at around 2pm, when Palestinian 
protesters marched down the road back to the village.

Since 2011, residents of Kufr Qaddum have been resisting the land grab and the road 
closure by holding weekly demonstrations. The Israeli army often violently suppresses the 
protests shooting tear gas canisters and stun grenades.

 On Saturday night, 9th February, 2013, at about 9:00pm, settlers came from the direction 
of the settlements Karnei Shomron and Ganei Shomron to the eastern end of the Palestinian 
village 'Azzun, and threw stones at village homes.  Villagers tried to get rid of them. 
IDF soldiers who came managed to get the settlers out.  Then, soldiers arrived in the 
village from the north and attacked some villagers.  Those soldiers then blocked the 
entrance to the village with a checkpoint.  Ever since, entry to and exit from the village 
has only been allowed on foot.  Five people going through the checkpoint have been arrested.
