Reports of Protests in Aboud
When construction of the separation wall started in Aboud villagers resisted with weekly non-violent protests. The protests stopped once construction of the wall was temporarily halted whilst their appeal against the route was considered in Israeli courts. They lost their appeal. Construction of the wall on Aboud land continues. (updated December 2006)
