Palestinian protesters and Israeli soldiers have clashed in the West Bank.

Protesters and peace activists marched along the barrier that separates Israel from the West Bank and hurled stones at Israeli soldiers on the other side.

The Israeli soldiers retaliated by attacking with tear gas grenades.

The barrier was built seven years ago by Israel after a surge in suicide bombings.

Despite the attack Israel continues to insist that the divide is essential to their security.
