WEST BANK (Dispatches) – 
Awdah Hathleen, a Palestinian activist who was part of the crew on the Academy Award-winning documentary No Other Land, was shot dead by a Zionist settler on Monday, the film’s co-directors say. 
Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham, one half of the filmmaking duo, shared a video on X late on Monday evening, local time, in the occupied West Bank, showing an infamous Israeli settler brandishing a gun and shooting at Palestinians behind the camera. 
It was unclear exactly who shot the video, but several Palestinians were in the vicinity.
The events appear to have transpired earlier that day in Masafer Yatta, the very village in which No Other Land is set. 
The settler in the video posted by Abraham was identified as Yinon Levi, who was sanctioned by the U.S. and European Union in 2024 for his violent attacks on Palestinians and their property.
The Trump administration lifted those Biden-era sanctions earlier this year. 
Levi has been featured in a number of news outlets documenting the impact of sanctions on Zionist settlers. 
In the video, he is shown angrily pulling out a handgun as the man filming him repeatedly shouts, “Shoot me! Shoot me!” in English.
After Levi starts shooting at targets off-camera, others in the background start screaming inaudibly in Arabic, until one man runs in front of the camera and shouts at the crowd, “For God’s sake, get back!” in Arabic, seemingly trying to de-escalate the situation. 
It is unclear whether the video is related to the killing of Hathleen.
Behind Levi is an active bulldozer, a telltale sign of what is likely another Palestinian home demolition by the Israelis, in a bid to make way for further settlement expansion - all of which is illegal under international law. 
Friends and coworkers mourned Hathleen on social media, describing him as a devoted father and peace activist.
Hathleen had a wife, Hanady, and three children, all under the age of ten. He was an English teacher, a writer, and a footballer who played for the local club in Masafer Yatta.
In another development, two Palestinians were killed in separate attacks late Monday in the occupied West Bank.
At least four others were wounded and three detained, according to Palestinian sources.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said the General Authority of Civil Affairs, which coordinates with the Zionist regime’s authorities, informed it of the death of 27-year-old Mohammad Samer Suleiman al-Jamal, who was shot by the regime’s troops at the northern entrance to Al-Khalil.
