VIDEO | According to local reports, Israeli military authorities recently closed a critical gate in the South Hebron Hills—the sole passage through which thousands of Palestinians commute daily to their villages. Nadav Weiman, Senior Director of Breaking the Silence, pointed out that video footage reveals 'the key' is actually held by Shimon Atiya, a notoriously violent Israeli settler from the illegal Shorashim Farm outpost who was recently issued a restraining order regarding Palestinians. Weiman noted that Atiya, who even opens the gate for Israeli occupation troops, is neither a soldier nor an officer, showing that Israeli settlers run the occupation hand in hand with the military.
