"Our land, our sky": in the occupied West Bank, kites against settlements

In occupied West Bank village of Burin, Palestinians launched kites toward Israeli settlement Har Bracha, symbolizing their claim over land and sky. The event, organized by local activists, serves both recreational and political purposes, highlighting ongoing tensions over land access and colonial expansion. Organizers argue that while the festival targets children, it sends a clear message against Israeli settlements, which are deemed illegal under international law. The activity comes amid increased reports of settler violence and calls by Israeli ministers for annexation of parts of the West Bank. Despite security concerns, the event continued with Palestinian flag-colored kites and cultural elements, reflecting broader solidarity movements.
