IDF uses undercover cops in recent Ni'lin protests, 2 arrested

The IDF has begun using undercover agents at protests against the apartheid wall being constructed in Ni'lin, the same location where International Solidarity Activist Tristan Anderson was shot in the head by a high velocity tear gas round fired by IDF solders. In the video, you can see what happened during a protest on July 10th. ISM describes the scene in this way:

"The demonstration ended abruptly when approximately 10 members of Israeli special forces, disguised as participants with masked faces pulled out pistols and telescopic batons. Soldiers armed with guns and riot shields then entered through the fence and shot large amounts of tear gas, smoke grenades, percussion grenades and live ammunition from their handguns.

Two Palestinian young men were arrested and led away in handcuffs with their heads forced downwards and arms pulled upwards."
