Under Siege on the West Bank: A Palestinian Documents the Violence and Destruction

from The Brief

In this episode of The Brief Podcast, Mohammad Huraini takes us on a walking tour of his village in the South Hebron Hills. It is part of a community known as Masafer Yatta. It comprises more than a dozen Palestinian hamlets. Mohammed uses his video recordings to document settler attacks, often supported by army troops or police. Illegal "settlers" in the region are terrorizing Palestinians who have lived there for decades with the aim of stealing their land and destroying their homes. Muhammed's goal is to document events using a video camera. He tells Jim Clancy that despite repeated, brutal attacks by the settlers the Palestinian residents around Masafer Yatta aren't abandoning their homes, livestock or property. You can support Mohammad's work here.
