Roadblocks set up by the villagers to stop Israeli jeeps if they tried coming deeper into the village.

A teargas canister that was fired by the Israeli military.
Video of teargas being fired. The canisters fly at very high velocity, acting like small rockets. They have been aimed at people directly in the past, and have killed some people and maimed others.

Taking cover as rubber coated steel bullets are fired by the military,
The clashes continue. This happens twice a week, every Friday and Saturday.
To stop them, all the Israeli Army needs to do is give back the road they illegally confiscated in 2003.
Myself retreating from the shooting while simultaneously trying to be filming the situation. Palestinians running my way are fleeing from the soldiers, who can and have opened fire with everything from teargas cannisters to rubber coated steel bullets to live ammunition.
