BETHLEHEM, WEST BANK PALESTINE- 2014/07/08-An Israeli soldier scrambles to get up after falling over the make-shift barricade Palestinians placed on the street. Youth often burn trash or tires to make a wall of smoke and obstruct the view of the soldiers. The soldier was aiming at Palestinian youth who were throwing rocks and fire crackers at the watch tower behind the soldiers. For the seventh night in a row intense clashes broke out in Bethlehem near Rachel's Tomb, also known as Checkpoint 300. The military guard tower is often the target of Molotov cocktails and stones being thrown by youth


BETHLEHEM, WEST BANK PALESTINE- 2014/07/08-An Israeli soldier scrambles to get up after falling over the make-shift barricade Palestinians placed on the street. Youth often burn trash or tires to make a wall of smoke and obstruct the view of the soldiers. The soldier was aiming at Palestinian youth who were throwing rocks and fire crackers at the watch tower behind the soldiers. For the seventh night in a row intense clashes broke out in Bethlehem near Rachel's Tomb, also known as Checkpoint 300. The military guard tower is often the target of Molotov cocktails and stones being thrown by youth. A water gun sits atop the guard tower wall and often will spray "skunk water" onto protestors. The checkpoint and military watch tower is a part of the massive concrete barrier that has been built by Israel. The concrete wall backs onto Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem, as well as annexing parts of Palestinian farm land on the now Israeli side. (Photo by Anna Ferensowicz/ Pacific Press)
