HEBRON, June 5, 2018 (WAFA) – A Palestinian activist said on Tuesday that Israeli soldiers have threatened to kill him if he continues to document Israeli army and settlers acts  against Palestinians in the occupied part of Hebron.

Aref Jaber, an activist with Human Rights Defenders in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, said that soldiers have stopped him when he came of his house in Jaber neighborhood in the occupied section of Hebron, known as H2, and threatened to kill him if he continues to document what they do to the Palestinians in that part of the city.

Jaber was held and interrogated for several hours on Saturday for filming Israeli soldiers shooting and killing 37-year-old Rami Sabarneh, married with three children, while he was doing road work for the Hebron Municipality near the illegal settlement of Kiryat Arba.

Israeli lawmakers are working on passing a new law that makes filming Israeli soldiers in action a crime punishable with a long prison term.
