Overview

• Awdah Hathleen, an English teacher and activist featured in the Oscar-winning film No Other Land, was shot in the chest and killed by settler Yinon Levi in Umm al-Khair on July 28.
• Yuval Abraham, the documentary’s co-director, shared footage on X showing Levi brandishing a handgun and firing at Palestinians as a bulldozer operated in the background.
• Israeli police confirmed they have detained the alleged shooter for questioning and arrested four Palestinians and two foreign tourists who were present at the scene.
• Bulldozer demolitions in the Masafer Yatta community have resumed, adding to a series of home destructions and resident displacements under a live-fire zone designation.
• Human rights organizations and the film’s creators have condemned the killing and are demanding swift accountability in light of a broader pattern of settler impunity.
