Last year the International Court of Justice ruled the wall to be illegal, but Israel has dismissed the ruling. On Saturday dozens of Palestinian and international activists staged a protest against the wall to mark the first anniversary of the court ruling. Israeli soldiers fired tear gas at the protesters and blocked them from marching toward the construction site of the wall. One woman was dragged away by Israeli troops. Meanwhile in the West Bank village of Beit Likiya, a 16-year-old Palestinian boy was buried on Saturday. The teenager was shot on Friday by an armed Israeli guard who was shooting to disperse stone-throwing protesters at the building site of the West Bank wall.
