'This is our sky': Palestinians fly kites in defiance of Israeli settlers in West Bank

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en]

Every summer since 2009, residents of a Palestinian village in the Israeli-occupied West Bank have gathered for a kite festival. The event is held on land that they say has been partly lost since a settlement was established in 1983. The festival, while primarily for children, carries a "political message", according to one of its organisers.
