Palestinians in the village of Susiya in the Israeli-occupied West Bank thought life could not get worse as Jewish settlers were attacking them repeatedly and ripping apart their precious olive groves.

An Israeli settler shot dead a Palestinian teacher who helped film Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, according to the Palestinian education ministry and an Israeli-American activist who was at the scene of the shooting.

A prominent Palestinian activist who had worked on an Oscar-winning documentary was killed on Monday during an attack by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, according to local journalists and officials.
