An Israeli settler shot dead a Palestinian teacher who helped film Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, the Palestinian education ministry and one of the film's directors said.
The ministry said Odeh Hathaleen was shot during a settler attack on Umm Al-Khair village in the occupied West Bank.
Director Yuval Abraham said on X that a settler shot Hathaleen in the lungs, and residents allege the shooter was Yinon Levy, who is sanctioned by the UK.
Attorney Avichai Hajbi said he was representing a resident "who felt his life was in danger, was forced to fire his weapon into the air" after residents were "attacked by an Arab mob, along with foreign activists, with stones and violence".
In a video believed to be filmed by a cousin of Odeh Hathaleen and posted on social media, a man identified as Levy is seen holding a pistol with a bulldozer behind him, as men yell at him. Levy pushes at one man, who pushes back. Levy then raises his pistol and shoots ahead of him, then again into the air.
