Hundreds rallied against Israeli forces as they entered the village of Kfar Qassem intending to demolish a greenhouse owned by Palestinian citizens of Israel Wednesday night.

The village, just west of the West Bank city of Tulkarem on the Israeli side of the separation wall, was the scene of an estimated 400-strong riot that successfully staved off the demolition of the building, currently under construction.

Israeli sources said five officers were hurt by villagers who threw stones at the troops, while border police arrested four locals.
