Shooting Back
In January 2007, B'Tselem, The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, launched "Shooting Back", a video advocacy project focusing on the Occupied Territories. They provided Palestinians living in high-conflict areas with video cameras and asked them to film the reality of their lives under occupation.
"Shooting Back" works with families who live in close proximity to settlements, to military bases or at the sites of frequent army incursions. It's a form of citizen journalism that records the daily life of the Palestinian people. Settlers attacking farmers, soldiers shooting unarmed civilians, invasions, and death are being brought to the global audience as shocking evidence.
The BBC has published online one such attack on an elderly shepherd, his wife and a nephew by four masked men for allowing their animals to graze near the settlement of Susia.
