Israel locks down West Bank village over barrier protests
Israeli troops are sealing off the Palestinian village of Ni’lin in the occupied West Bank.
Villagers are trying to stop the latest stretch of Israel’s separation wall from cutting them off from their farmland.
Israel says the barrier is being built to keep out Palestinian suicide bombers.
Construction sites are flashpoints between Israeli security forces and Palestinians, who are often supported by Israelis and other foreigners who oppose the barrier.
David Chater, Al Jazeera’s correspondent in the West Bank, filed this exclusive report.
