ISM Activists, Palestinians and Anarchists Against the Wall break through fence near Tul Karm

Palestinian residents of the West Bank village of Kafr Zeita and
anti-separation fence activists on Monday burst through a gate in
the barrier separating the village from its agricultural lands.
Activists from the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement
and the Israeli group Anarchists Against the Fence said this was
the first time demonstrators have managed to break through the barrier.
Activists and residents of the village, located north of Tul Karm,
began breaking through the gate when there were no Israel
Defense Forces soldiers present. When the first patrol jeep
arrived on the scene, the gate had already been opened.

"Nothing will dissuade us from breaking this fence," Yonatan
Pollack, of Anarchists Against the Fence, said.

The organization's activity in Kafr Zeita was part of its protest
march from Jenin to Jerusalem along the route of the separation
fence. The march is slated to end in another two weeks.

In 2003, Anarchists activist Gil Na'amati was wounded by IDF
gunfire during an attempt by the group to break through the
fence.
