It said that the unknown man drove his bulldozer into the wall and tried to knock down part of it.

The broadcast noted that police guards fired rubber-coated bullets at the driver who fled the scene. Police and army elements are searching the area for the driver, it added.

Tulkarem – Ma'an –

Dozens of protestors were showered with tear gas when they clashed with Israeli occupation troops during a march protesting the illegal Israeli Land-Grab, Apartheid Wall, west of Dair Al-Ghusoun, near Tulkarem on Wednesday. The Israeli occupation forces fired sound bombs and rubber bullets at demonstrators near the wall, before removing anti-Israeli banners and Palestinian flags.

The National Committee of Popular Resistance and the municipality of Dair Al-Ghusoun, sponsored by the Governor of Tulkarem Talal Duwaikat, organized the peaceful demonstration against the wall to mark the fourth anniversary of the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) ruling that the wall is illegal.

The march started from Dair Al-Ghusoun heading to the separation wall, west of the town. Governor Duwaikat addressed the demonstrators and stressed the importance of resisting the construction of the wall. He called on the international community to pressure the Israeli authorities, who have continued with the construction of the wall, despite the ICJ's ruling.

GAZA, (PIC)--

The agriculture ministry in the PA caretaker government has called for activating popular rallies and marches on the Arab and international arenas to commemorate the fourth anniversary of the international court of justice in The Hague's ruling that described Israel's illegal Israeli Land-Grab, Apartheid Wall in the West Bank as "illegal".

The ministry in statement noted that the anniversary, which falls on Wednesday, was coupled with the "ferocious" campaign waged by the Israeli occupation forces on the people of Na'lin for protesting the establishment of a section of that wall on their lands.

It also denounced the continued IOF bulldozing of citizens' lands in Beit Hanina town northwest of occupied Jerusalem that witnessed uprooting hundreds of years old olive trees in a bid to construct another section of that racist wall.

The separation wall isolated 733,000 dunums of Palestinian lands in the West Bank along with 108,000 Palestinian citizens.
