🇵🇸 Saving Masafer Yatta | Mondoweiss Documentary August 2022

In May 2022 the Israeli Supreme Court ruled to expel the Palestinians living in the South Hebron Hills of the occupied West Bank, known locally as Masafer Yatta, and hand their land over to the Israeli military.

The army has used the land as an active firing zone for years, putting the local communities there at risk. Now, with the backing of the Supreme Court, the army is seeking to completely rid the area of its Palestinian inhabitants. Rights groups say it’s an act that would amount to forcible transfer, a war crime under international law.

With no hope left in the Israeli legal system, the Palestinians in Masafer Yatta are appealing to the international community to help save their communities.
