A full year has passed since settler Yinon Levi, an Israeli settler, shot and killed Awdah al-Hathaleen, a resident of Um al-Kheir, in South Hebron Hills. Awdah’s filmed his own killing. Levi was released from custody after one night, and was then documented in the vicinity of Um al-Kheir. He has not been indicted. Awdah was 31 years old at the time of his death. He was a father of three young children, an educator, a prominent peace activist, and one of the leaders of the residents of Masafer Yatta’s non-violent struggle for the right to remain on their land. From October 2023 to 27 July 2026 Israel killed at least 1,100 Palestinians in the West Bank. 37 were killed by settler militias. Since October 2023, not a single indictment has been filed against an Israeli for the killing of Palestinians in the West Bank. Under Israeli apartheid, Palestinians are left exposed to violence, while Israelis who harm them enjoy near-total impunity.
