At 3 am 7/7/09 approximately 100 soldiers and border policeman invaded Bilin and have attacked the homes of Basem Yasin, Akhmed Yasin, Shauket Khatib and Abd AlMuamen Abu Rakhma there they had arrested Majdi Abdel Muamer Abu Rakhma and an American activist when he tried to resist to invasion of a home. A group of about 100 Palestinian, Israeli and international activists followed the soldiers, trying to stop them and make them leave the village. They have succeeded in doing so, and the rest of the houses without making any arrest. Thus, the popular committee asks Israeli and international activists to keep coming to the village in the following days, in order to resist further army invasions.
Such invasions have been going on in Bilin frequently in the last two weeks: soldiers arrested nine children and youth of the popular non-violent protest, and were attempting to arrest all participants of the popular protest.
