NABI SALEH, WEST BANK, PALESTINE - 2015/01/23: A Palestinian youth from the West Bank town of Nabi Saleh attempts to run away from a tear gas canister that landed near him. The canister was shot by Israeli soldiers who blocked the town entrance because of a weekly demonstration. Weekly Friday demonstrations against the Israeli military occupation and illegal Israeli settlements across the West Bank, Palestine were stopped and dispersed by Israeli soldiers in various towns. In Nabi Saleh, a small Palestinian village, located northwest of Ramallah, villagers and international activists gathered to march from the center of the village to their lands across the road. The march was stopped by Israeli soldiers whom blocked the entrance of the village with Israeli army jeeps and began to fire tear gas at protesting youth and elderly people. Villagers from Nabi Saleh have been gathering every Friday for many years now as a means of peaceful protest against the confiscation of their land by the Israeli government. Vast swaths of farm land belonging to Palestinian families from the village have been seized by the Israeli government and have been used to build the illegal Israeli settlement named Halamish.
