'Act of desperation'
Israeli security forces have fired tear gas and munitions at a group of Palestinians staging a protest in the West Bank town of Bi'lin to mark the fifth anniversary of a separation wall built by Israel.
Al Jazeera's Tadros said the situation was "incredibly dangerous".
"In the past five years five Palestinian international activists have been killed because of the tear gas canisters hitting them, the rubber bullets and the live munitions.
"This is something that has been really criticised by rights groups who have said Israel's use of these kinds of munititions for crowd dispersal is against international law and the impunity with which they use them should be held to account."
