Palestinian Shot Defending His Home

A Palestinian man was shot defending his home from Israeli settlers.

As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushes ahead with his plan to seize more territory in Gaza – in the occupied West Bank the slow take over of Palestinian land through settlements and outposts is unrelenting.

Emboldened by the support of the right-wing government, settler attacks have become more frequent and more violent. Independent film maker Katie Arnold has spent more than a year following Palestinian farmer Saeed al-Amour, as he attempts to defend his land in the West Bank.

His olive groves near the Palestinian town of Al Rakeez have become a target for Israelis from the illegal settlement of Avigayil, a kilometer away.

A warning there are distressing scenes of violence in her film.
