We just received announcement from Beit Ommar on the last developments in their town and
region. The group of the activists in Beit Ommar was enlarged, and a regional comity of
South Hill of Hebron activists was formally established. Last Weekend, after the Holiday,
all the regular struggles were resumed, and many details are included in this report. Beit
Ommar, Bil'in, Ma'sara, Nabi Saleh, Nilin, Qaddom, South of Hebron Hills and Sheikh Jarah
too.... After eight years of continuous activity against the separation fences and walls &
occupation in the west bank, and sporadic activities within Israel (including within the
spectrum of social justice). After sporadic discussions about our activities and
organization, the anarchists against the wall meeting of activists decided last month on
weekly meetings to promote the cohesion of the group and our activities within Israel.
Beit Ommar
The Beit Ommar Popular Committee has decided to develop the name of
the committee from "Beit Ommar Popular Committee against Settlement and Apartheid wall" to
"Beit Ommar Popular Movement against Settlement and Apartheid Wall". Few more people have
joined the committee body, so the committee members has become 15 instead of 7. Mr. Mousa
Abu Maria has decided to resign from the committee, therefore, we have respected his wish,
and we deeply thank him for his contributions and efforts over the past few years, and we
confirm that Mr. Mousa doesn't represent or speak on behalf of the committee anymore.
We have together with Al Ma'sara committee and Hebron South Hills elected a committee that
represent south of West Bank popular committees.
Saturday 3-11-12 demo:

Our next PROTEST will be on Friday 9/11/2012, this protest is organized by SOUTH WEST BANK
POPULAR COMMITTEES.
Bil'in
The usual numbers of Israelis and internationals joined the last three Palestinian demos
against the wall and occupation in Bil'in. Two weeks ago the protesters focused on
"engineering work": removing barbed wire, placing ramps to gain access to the wall, and
climbing the wall with a ladder to place a flag. The following week the demo was smaller
due to the holiday (and without the participation of internationals), and the skunk kept
the protesters from repeating the previous week's achievement. This Friday the shabab were
ahead of the other demonstrators, throwing paint bottles and stones at the two soldiers
designated to play sitting ducks on the wall under their shields, while the army cameras
take pictures of "helpless" soldiers being stoned. All demos were eventually attacked with
gas and skunk stinking water. This week an intensive shooting of rubber bullets was
required to get the shabab to stop trying to scare the soldiers away from the village
lands with stones.

Al-Ma'sara, 2nd November 2012
"As each Friday, a demonstration to protest against the building of the Wall and the
expansion of the settlements in the South Bethlehem area. The demonstrators managed to
pass through the first block of soldiers at the entrance of the village and to block a
part of the junction road 3157. The purpose: to reach some lands of the village
expropriated to build a new part of the Separation Wall. Despite the peaceful and
non-violent mode of the demonstration, police and Israeli soldiers don't allow the
demonstrators to reach the lands and strongly pushed them back with their shields. Despite
the army and its violent methods, we'll continue, Friday by Friday, to scream for our
freedom."

Nabi Saleh
On the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, November 2nd, protesters in Nabi Saleh
weekly demo asserted their continuous struggle for Palestinian rights despite occupation
repression. Today?s demo, titled ?we shall win, Balfour? started after the noon Friday,
the demonstrators chanted slogans condemning that immoral promise which was given by
British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to the Zionists, 95 years ago.
Israeli forces attacked the march before reaching the entrance of the village, firing
loads of tear gas grenades and rubber-coated steel bullets and stun grenades. Israeli
soldier also shots live ammunition directly at protesters during clashes. Dozens of
injuries or suffocation cases were documented. And thus a clash erupted between the
Israeli military and the village youth. The soldiers arrested Wae?d Tamimi, 16 years (son
of Bassem and Nariman), and another two Israeli photographers and two French activists.
Some village?s children surrounded the soldiers demanding the release of Wa?ed [see videos
below], they were forcibly dispersed and Wa?ed was taken by army vehicle to the police
station in Sha?ar Benyamin settlement. Worth noting, that Wa?ed?s father, Bassem Tamimi,
the prominent popular struggle leader in the village was arrested last week during the
joint struggle comity demonstration at Sha?ar benyamin settlement. He is currently as Ofer
prison, facing military trial for the second time in the last 3 years.
