Israeli soldiers, settlers raid home of Hebron activist featured in BBC film The Settlers
Palestinian activist Issa Amro says Israeli soldiers and settlers have raided his home in Hebron after he took part in the BBC documentary The Settlers. It features Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, which are illegal under international law.
In a post on X, Amro shared footage showing a group of settlers harassing him and trying to push their way into his property. He said they stole items and assaulted one person. According to Amro, Israeli soldiers who arrived at the scene threatened him against filing a complaint about the settlers’ actions.
He said the soldiers were seeking “revenge” for his role in the BBC film, which has received critical acclaim for its portrayal of the Israeli settler movement.
. @Issaamro who featured in The Settlers has posted videos of his latest harassment by settlers and soldiers. Our team has been in regular contact with him since the documentary and over the last 24 hours. We are continuing to monitor the situation. https://t.co/asEWKkVX5h

Another prisoner dies in Israeli custody: Prisoners’ group
Mohey al-Din Fahmi Saeed Nijim, a native of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, has died in Israeli custody, according to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS).
Nijim, a 60-year-old father of six, was arrested in August 2023 and held in the Negev prison, where he did not receive adequate health treatment as his condition deteriorated, Wafa reported, citing the group.
“He was held behind bars without any trial or charges under ‘administrative detention’ for close to two years, before he was martyred today,” PPS said. “He is one of hundreds of sick prisoners subjected to systematic slow killings in Israeli prisons.
His death brings the total number of Palestinian prisoners who have died in Israeli custody during the Gaza war to at least 66, according to PPS.
