Israeli troops fired rubber bullets and tear gas at a nonviolent protest against the separation wall near the West Bank village of Bilin. Several protesters were injured including Nobel Peace laureate Mairead Maguire, who was shot with a rubber bullet. The Puerto Rican peace activist Tito Kayak was arrested at the protest after climbing an Israeli military communications tower to hoist a Palestinian flag. Israel has detained Kayak since Friday. Seven years ago Kayak scaled the Statue of Liberty and draped a Puerto Rican flag over the statue.
