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.
