Foreign activists detained by Israel amid protest at barrier
About 120 foreign activists are held in Israeli jails awaiting possible deportation after arriving at Tel Aviv airport for a solidarity mission with Palestinians. Others reached the West Bank to join demonstrations against the barrier, as clashes with soldiers near Jerusalem produced tear gas and rocks but no serious injuries. In Guatemala City, Facundo Cabral was killed in an ambush linked to his promoter. In Brazil, 11-year-old Paulo David Amorim is shown drawing metal objects to his body, prompting talk of his “magnet boy” condition.
