Awdah Hathaleen, a prominent Palestinian activist known for his involvement in a film that won an Oscar, was shot and killed by an Israeli settler in the West Bank. Footage captured by Hathaleen himself shows the moment he was killed, leading to widespread outrage and protests. Family members and community activists have demanded justice, with many attending his funeral in Umm al-Khair after his body was withheld by Israeli authorities for several days. In response to the violence, women from his village have begun a hunger strike, calling for the return of his body and condemning the ongoing violence against Palestinian activists. The settler who allegedly shot Hathaleen has reportedly been released from house arrest, fueling further anger and demands for accountability.
