Israeli troops watch as a Palestinian boy plays soccer during a protest against the construction of Israel's controversial barrier near the West Bank village of Artas, south of Bethlehem May 25, 2007. Israel says the barrier's aim is to keep out Palestinian suicide bombers who have struck dozens of times during an uprising that began in September 2000. Palestinians and human rights groups say the barrier unfairly prejudges the borders of a future Palestinian state and is an Israeli land grab.
