Some 600 Israelis and Palestinians participated on Friday in the 'Israeli-Palestinian Freedom March,' held by the Tunnels Checkpoint at the West Bank.

They called for "a better future for both people, a future of peace, justice and equality." The demonstration, marking the tenth year anniversary of Combatants for Peace was organized in cooperation with Standing Together.

The march started from the entrance of Battir village south of Bethlehem. The protesters marched towards road 60 and walked all the way to the tunnels checkpoint, separating Bethlehem area from Jerusalem.

During the march, accompanied by IDF forces, activists and members of Combatants for Peace used hand-made puppets to close the road and then used it during the protest as they chanted anti-occupation slogans and demanded "the end of occupation and the establishment of peace."
