Children of the West Bank take to the streets, leading a wave of solidarity protests against Israel's attacks on Gaza.

On sunday,children across the West Bank took to the streets in solidarity with the people of Gaza following Israel's deadly attacks on the Strip, as the Israeli government carries out it's promise of a holocaust on Gaza.

In Bethlehem, people marched from the Church of the Nativity to the checkpoint that separates Bethlehem from Jerusalem.

Boys who appeared to be as young as 8 , hurled stones and burning tyres at a watch tower in the wall .

The israeli army fired live rounds from the tower, which hit one boy in the groin. Another boy was taken to hospital suffering from severe tear gas inhalation.

In Hebron the army opened fire on protestors killing one 17 year old boy.

At Monday lunch-time, another boy was killed when the Israeli army opened fire at protesting school children from the village of Al Mazra'ah Al Sarqyiah, who demonstrated at the village entrance checkpoint.  http://www.imemc.org/article/53203

Every major road in the West Bank was taken over by school children protesting aged between 8 and 15 years confronting the Israeli army unarmed, piling heaps of stones to block military vehicles, building barriers of burning tyres and other debris.

The Israeli army took these juvenile protests seriously enough to surpress them with live rounds, and tear gas.
