'Israeli' settler behind killing of 'No Other Land' Palestinian activist released to house arrest

An 'Israeli' court has ordered the release to house arrest of Yinon Levi, a settler facing manslaughter charges over the fatal shooting of a Palestinian activist in the occupied West Bank earlier this week. Levi, who has been previously sanctioned by the United States for violent settler attacks, was arrested in connection with the death of 31-year-old Awdah Hathaleen, a well-known English teacher and peaceful activist from the village of Umm al-Khair in Masafer Yatta, near Hebron. Despite video footage showing Levi opening fire on a group of unarmed Palestinians during a demolition operation on Monday, 'Israel's' Magistrate's Court declined to keep him in custody. The decision was not contested by police, who also permitted Levi an unusual pre-hearing visit with his family, according to Haaretz. Hathaleen was shot after reportedly confronting settlers and 'Israeli' authorities over the destruction of Palestinian property. Footage from the scene shows Levi aiming and firing his weapon while a bulldozer continues demolition work in the background. "Awda has always been a pillar among his family, his village, and the wider international community of activists who had the pleasure to meet him," said Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) in a tribute posted to X. To know Awda Hathaleen is to love him. Awda Hathaleen was an activist and a resident in Umm al-Khair, an indigenous Bedouin Palestinian community in the South Hebron Hills within the occupied West Bank. He was an English teacher and activist. Awda has always been a pillar… — Jewish Voice for Peace (@jvplive) July 28, 2025 Hathaleen, who contributed to the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, is survived by his wife Hanady and their three young children. He was also a footballer for the local team in Masafer Yatta and was remembered by friends as a committed educator and advocate for nonviolent resistance. In a further escalation, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) detained eight Palestinians from Umm al-Khair on Wednesday, including the village head. Meanwhile, four other Palestinians arrested during Monday's events are set to appear before a military court, accused of stone-throwing and property damage. Two international activists detained at the scene are facing deportation. The handling of Hathaleen's death has sparked outrage. 'Israeli' authorities reportedly refused to allow his burial in his home village, citing restrictions on Palestinian construction, including the placement of gravestones. Military forces also dismantled mourning tents erected by family and friends at the local community center. The incident has reignited concerns over rising settler violence in the West Bank, which has surged since the war on Gaza began in October 2023. Over 700,000 'Israeli' settlers now live across the occupied territory in settlements considered illegal under international law.

‘NYT lies, Gaza dies': Protesters deface New York Times building with red paint

A group of autonomous activists vandalized the New York Times (NYT) building in Manhattan, using fire extinguishers filled with red paint. The demonstrators also spray-painted the phrase "NYT LIES, GAZA DIES" on the facade, signaling their outrage at the newspaper's coverage of the ongoing crisis in Gaza. BREAKING: Early this morning, actionists targeted the @nytimes headquarters in midtown Manhattan with paint-filled fire extinguishers. In an anonymous statement sent to our inbox, the actionists accused the NYT of being 'an active accomplice to the genocide in Gaza.' — Writers Against the War on Gaza (@wawog_now) July 30, 2025 In an anonymous email sent to the organization Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAWOG), the activists claimed the NYT is 'an active accomplice to the genocide in Gaza.' Along with images of the vandalism, the email contained a detailed statement condemning the paper for what they described as biased reporting and misinformation. The email read: "Good morning comrades, Early this morning, an action occurred at the Times building involving red paint and flyers. We thought this might be of interest to WAWOG because of your campaign against this genocidal rag. THE NEW YORK TIMES IS STARVING GAZA. In the past week, more than 100 Palestinians in Gaza have died of starvation. Six hundred and fifty thousand children have reached the fifth stage of malnutrition, meaning those who survive will likely face permanent organ damage. Since May, over 1,000 aid seekers waiting in cages set up by the so-called 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,' a US-Israeli front for the continuation of the genocide, have been killed in broad daylight while queuing for food. Who is responsible? You'd never know from reading the so-called 'paper of record.' On July 26, The New York Times published a front-page story titled 'Israel to Allow Aid Drops Amid Starvation.' But 'Israel' engineered the starvation, a fact the NYT persistently conceals. The next day, the paper reported Israeli officials admitting there was no proof Hamas stole aid, but failed to acknowledge their own role in promoting the damaging narrative of aid theft— a genocidal lie justifying the brutal siege and starvation of Gaza. Research by Writers Against the War on Gaza reveals that the NYT's Jerusalem bureau and its New York newsroom include reporters and editors with direct ties to Israel. One such reporter, Johnatan Reiss, recently described murders at aid sites as 'a crude form of crowd control.' It is no longer enough to say the NYT is merely covering up Israel's crimes—THE NYT IS AN ACTIVE ACCOMPLICE IN THE ONGOING GENOCIDE." This protest coincides with recent controversy over an editor's note appended by the New York Times to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a severely malnourished child in Gaza. The note claimed the child had 'pre-existing health problems,' a move critics say echoes discredited defenses used by Nazi officials at the Nuremberg trials. The correction was reportedly made following pressure from pro-'Israel' media watchdogs like 'Honest Reporting.'
