Hussam Faisal Muhana, 10, heeded the calls made on Saturday over the loudspeakers throughout his village of Deir al-Ghusun near Tulkarem encouraging residents to participate in a demonstration against the separation fence [built on village land].
Together with other children and youth from the village, he went to the demonstration. The children threw stones at the security forces that clashed with the demonstrators.
