CPT threatened

News in Brief

Members of Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) in Hebron (known in Arabic as Al-Khalil) have been threatened with arrest and death by the Israeli army’s Golani Brigade.

Tensions have escalated since the publication of the CPT report, Under Attack: Golani Brigade’s war on the Palestinian population of Al-Khalil (Hebron), on 15 February.

On 25 February, a Golani soldier aimed his rifle at CPT and international observers, saying: ‘I want to shoot you through the head with a bullet’.
