Palestinian activist who worked on Oscar-winning film 'No Other Land' killed in occupied West Bank

Awdah Hathleen, a Palestinian activist who was part of the crew on the Academy Award-winning documentary No Other Land, was shot dead by an Israeli settler on Monday, the film's co-directors say. 

Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham, one half of the filmmaking duo, shared a video on X late on Monday evening, local time, in the occupied West Bank, showing an infamous Israeli settler brandishing a gun and shooting at Palestinians behind the camera. 

It was unclear exactly who shot the video, but several Palestinians were in the vicinity.

The events appear to have transpired earlier that day in Masafer Yatta, the very village in which No Other Land is set. 

The settler in the video posted by Abraham was identified as Yinon Levi, who was sanctioned by the US and European Union in 2024 for his violent attacks on Palestinians and their property.
