A Palestinian confronts a settler during an Israeli attack targeting Palestinian farmers and solidarity activists on agricultural land belonging to the village of Khirbet Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah in the West Bank, 3 July 2026. The Palestinian stands in front of an olive tree that was previously cut down by Israeli settlers. Eight people were injured. The attackers came from a newly established outpost nearby, and used batons, pepper spray and stones during the attack. One of the attackers was carrying a handgun. Although Israeli forces were aware that the attack was taking place, they arrived only after it ended, shortly after the attackers left the scene. Upon arrival, the Israeli soldiers blocked residents from returning to their lands. The village has endured a surge of attacks by Israeli settlers, and three residents were killed in March 2026.
The Activestills collective was established in 2005 by a group of documentary photographers, out of a strong conviction that photography is a vehicle for social change. We believe in the power of images to shape public attitudes and to raise awareness on issues that are generally absent from public discourse.
We view ourself as part of the struggle against all forms of oppression, racism, and violations of the basic right to freedom. We do work on various topics, including the grassroots movement and the popular struggle against the Israeli occupation, women’s rights, immigration, asylum-seekers, social justice, the siege on Gaza, and housing rights inside Israel.
