A Border Policeman and five protestors were lightly wounded on Friday during two protests against the West Bank separation fence which took place in Bodras and Bi`lin.
In the protest in Bodras, three people were lightly wounded when "Israeli" Army troops fired rubber-coated bullets on a crowd of protestors who had opened one of the gates of the fence and entered a closed military zone.
During the protest in Bi`lin, a Border Policeman was lightly wounded in clashes with protestors. The village of Bi`lin, half of which lies on the "Israeli" side of the fence, has become a symbol of the anti-fence movement and for the last two years large protests involving hundreds of "Israelis" and Palestinians have taken place on a regular basis there.
In a third protest in the village of Kafin on Friday, 500 "Israelis" and Palestinians rallied against the separation fence without incident.
