Women in Umm al Khair village have initiated a hunger strike demanding the return of Awdah Hathaleen's body, who was killed by an Israeli settler. Hathaleen, an influential community leader and activist, was shot on July 28. His accused killer, Yinon Levi, was previously sanctioned for violence against Palestinians. Israeli police will only return Hathaleen's remains if the family agrees to limited burial conditions. Community members oppose these terms, emphasizing the importance of a proper burial in their hometown.
Awdah Hathaleen was beloved for his activism and contributions to the community, including being involved in the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land.
Israeli police insist on conditions for returning Hathaleen's remains that restrict traditional burial practices, sparking outrage among community members.
