West Bank: settlers, guns and sanctions

--:--
For more than six months, a BBC Eye team has been investigating extremist settlers establishing a new type of illegal settlement known as a “herding outpost”.

Some have been sanctioned by the UK and US governments for forcing Palestinians from their homes as part of a “campaign of violence and intimidation”.

In this documentary we tell the story of the Palestinian communities living on the frontline of their outposts.

We expose how some of these settlers have been supported by two powerful organisations in Israel, one which describes itself as “an arm of the Israeli state”.Image credit: BBC Eye
