The Israeli soldiers fired tear gas at Jacky Rowland, Al Jazeera's correspondent who was covering live event from near the village of Bilin.

Israeli forces also shoot two demonstrators with live ammunition in the West Bank village of Ni'lin.

Eyewitnesses reported that the Army began to shoot live ammunition towards demonstrators. David Reeb, an Israeli citizen and prominent film-maker, was shot in his thigh with live ammunition from around 20 meters. Reeb frequently films Ni'lin demonstrations. Hamoudeh Saeed Amirah, a Ni'lin resident, was shot in his leg with live ammunition, though the bullet did not enter. Amirah films the Ni'lin demonstrations for Press TV.

On Monday, Israeli soldiers also shot dead a Palestinian teenager in the occupied West Bank.

Ms. Rowland is lucky she wasn’t shot dead. I suppose that’s next. Surely, the Israelis have committed every other atrocity it is possible for “people” to commit against others. Shooting and killing journalists seems almost a given.
