Israel indicts settler over death of Palestinian activist who worked on No Other Land

Israeli prosecutors have indicted settler Yinon Levy on manslaughter charges over the shooting death of Palestinian activist Awdeh Hathaleen last July, The Guardian reports. Hathaleen, an English teacher who had worked on the film No Other Land, filmed Levy drawing his weapon and opening fire in his final moments. The Guardian notes Levy was already under Western sanctions, and calls this the first attempt this decade to hold an Israeli criminally responsible for killing a Palestinian in the occupied West Bank.
