#masafer-yatta

In the hills of Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank, a small Bedouin community in the village of Umm al-Khair has fought for decades to remain on their land, a rocky landscape dotted with olive trees, where they farm and raise livestock. As a community with a steadfast commitment to nonviolent struggle, they document and fight back against increasing settler violence and land annexation for the illegal Israeli settlement expansion that surrounds their homes.

Awdah al-Hathaleen, a prominent Palestinian activist and teacher, dedicated his life to defending Umm al-Kheir amidst escalating threats from Israeli settlers and officials.
