A pro-Palestinian group, Anarchists Against the Wall, has shot the video below showing  an Israeli undercover unit arresting protesters earlier this month during a demonstration against Israel’s West Bank barrier in the Palestinian village of Nilin.

Palestinians call the network of mostly razor-wire tipped fences and towering concrete walls a land grab by Israel, which captured the West Bank in the 1967 Middle East war. Palestinians hope to establish a state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Israel says the barrier, deemed illegal by the World Court because it crosses occupied territory, has stopped suicide bombers from reaching its cities and that it can be moved once a peace deal is struck.
