A Palestinian activist said, on Tuesday, that Israeli soldiers have threatened to kill him if he continues to document Israeli army and settler acts against Palestinians in occupied Hebron.
Aref Jaber, an activist with Human Rights Defenders in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, said that soldiers stopped him as he came out of his house in Jaber neighborhood, in the occupied section of Hebron known as H2, and threatened to kill him should he continue to document violations against Palestinians in that part of the city.
Jaber was held and interrogated for several hours, on Saturday, for filming Israeli soldiers shooting and killing 37-year-old Rami Sabarneh, married with three children, while he was doing road work for the Hebron Municipality near the illegal settlement of Kiryat Arba.
Israeli lawmakers are working on passing a new law that makes filming Israeli soldiers in action a crime punishable with a long prison term.

Public security minister says IDF snipers should shoot Palestinians in Gaza as they fly incendiary kites across the border into Israel; 'The IDF's targeted assassinations must also apply to these kite-flyers.'
Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan said Tuesday that Israeli snipers should shoot Palestinians in Gaza who are spotted flying incendiary kites over the border into Israel.
Palestinians are sending kites dangling coal embers or burning rags across the Gaza border to set fire to farmland and forests, in a new tactic that an Israeli minister said should be countered with "targeted assassinations".
"I expect the IDF to handle these kite-flyers exactly as they would any terrorist, and the IDF's targeted assassinations must also apply to these kite-flyers," Erdan said.
Israel has drafted in civilian drone enthusiasts as army reservists, instructing them to fly their remote-controlled aircraft into the kites, an Israeli general said.
"If their drone ends up getting lost in the process, we compensate them," the general told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The army has also fitted larger surveillance drones with weighted fishing lines or blades that can snag or slash kite strings in mid-air, the general said.
But he acknowledged the limitations of such measures, saying: "We'll probably end up having to shoot kite-flyers too."
According to Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, 600 such kites have been sent from the strip so far, while 400 have been intercepted by Israeli security forces using technological means.
“Two-hundred succeeded in reaching our territory and they burned 9,000 dunams of crops and forests,” Lieberman said on Monday, adding that Israel would not accept the kites as a daily norm.
"It began spontaneously. We never thought we would achieve such good results," said Shadi, one of five Palestinian teenagers preparing kites with fabric dipped in diesel and lubricant oil in a Gaza field.
"The idea is simple: use the simplest tools to cause damage and losses on the Occupation (Israel)," said Shadi, 19, wearing a "V for Vendetta" mask favored by protesters in many parts of the world and who, like the others, declined to give his last name.
No one has been hurt by the fires, but some 2,250 acres (910 hectares) of fields and nature reserves, already parched after a dry winter, have been burned by flames stoked by Mediterranean winds, causing $2.5 million in damage, Israel's government said.
Daniel Ben-David, a forestry official for Israel's quasi-governmental Jewish National Fund, said some kites had been decorated with swastikas or the Palestinian national colours, but more recently were made of transparent nylon sheeting.
Some had leaflets attached. "Prepare for a scorching summer," read one, in Hebrew.
In Gaza, kite-maker Shadi said his group had never used swastikas on their kites. He confirmed that transparent plastic was the best material as it made the kites almost invisible against the sky.
Even if the protests wind down, he and others will continue to send the kites—some of which carry the photos of Palestinians killed in the demonstrations—he said.
"Each kite costs us 10 shekels ($2.80). We pay it for it out of our own pockets," Shadi said.
A senior White House envoy, Jason Greenblatt, described the kites as "not harmless playthings or metaphors for freedom (but) propaganda and indiscriminate weapons".

Israeli police arrest 15 worshipers at al-Aqsa Mosque
The Israeli police on Tuesday arrested 15 Palestinian worshipers from inside al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards in Occupied Jerusalem.
Wafa news agency said, quoting an Aqsa guard, that the worshipers were arrested for reciting the Holy Quran while a group of Israeli settlers were roaming al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards.
The guard described Tuesday's break-in as a "dangerous escalation" since settler visits to the holy site are halted in the last ten days of Ramadan because of the intensified presence of Muslim worshipers in the Mosque these days.
Eyewitnesses said that the Israeli police in the morning hours opened al-Maghareba Gate and deployed its forces in large numbers in the Mosque courtyards in preparation for the settler break-in.
The witnesses added that during the break-in the police attacked a group of worshipers who were reciting the Holy Quran, arrested 15 young men and transferred them to an Israeli interrogation center in the Old City.
About 66 Israeli settlers forced their way into al-Aqsa Mosque via al-Maghareba Gate Tuesday morning.
The Israeli Temple Mount extremist groups earlier this week held a meeting in which they called for stepped-up break-ins into al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday to break the tradition of suspending settler visits to the site during the last ten days of the holy month of Ramadan.
