ALBAWABA - Palestinian activist and teacher Odeh Hadalin, who helped in the creation of the Oscar-winning film 'No Other Land,' was recently shot and killed by an Israeli settler in Masafer Yatta, West Bank, according to several local reports.
Odeh Hadalin, who helped document the Israeli attacks on Palestinians residing in Masafer Yatta, "was shot dead by settlers… during their attack on the village of Umm al-Khair," as reported by the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Education.
The two filmmakers behind No Other Land, Yuval Abraham and Basel Adra, also confirmed his death on social media.

Adra took to social media and wrote, "My dear friend Awdah was slaughtered this evening. He was standing in front of the community centre in his village when a settler fired a bullet that pierced his chest and took his life."
He added, "This is how Israel erases us — one life at a time."
Additionally, Abraham also wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), "Odeh just died. Murdered."
The confirmation came right after Abraham revealed that Odeh Hadalin was shot in the lungs by an Israeli settler.
The Israeli police released a statement disclosing that the settler responsible was arrested alongside four Palestinians and two foreign tourists connected to the incident, as reported by Al Jazeera.
The settler in question was identified as Yinon Levi after videos of the incident flooded social media.
According to the Palestinian agency Wafa, one of the Palestinians was rushed to the hospital by an ambulance after being injured by one of the Israeli settlers.
