'This is our sky': Palestinians fly kites in defiance of Israeli settlers in West Bank
The News
Residents of a Palestinian village in the Israeli-occupied West Bank have held an annual kite festival every summer since 2009 on land they say was partly lost after a settlement was established in 1983. The event, primarily for children, is also intended to convey a political message of defiance against Israeli settlers, according to an organizer. The festival highlights ongoing tensions over land and settlements in the region.
