Israel seems to cave somewhat on Bil’in

My friend Nancy Kanwisher writes: Maan is reporting that "Attorney of Bil’in local council, Michael Sfard, said on Saturday that Israeli authorities informed him of the new route of the separation wall, adjusted according to a decision by the Israeli Supreme Court of Justice in 2007." and "Once the adjusted route is implemented, residents of Bil’in are expected to restore almost half of their 2,300 donums confiscated during the construction of the wall’s original route." This sounds tome like a major triumph of nonviolent resistance, but I don’t see mention of this in Haaretz or anywhere else…
