Ali Al-Samoudi has spent four decades documenting the daily realities of life under occupation in the northern West Bank. A 60-year-old veteran Palestinian journalist from Jenin, he has worked as a correspondent for Al-Quds newspaper and as a cameraman for Al Jazeera and other international media outlets.

I've done the #EoB art project about the killing of #journalists in #Gaza.

Many have died since (although we're during what is called a #CeaseFire), and now #idf does the same in #Lebanon. At least they can't block entrance of foreign press there.
