We gain rare access inside the Jenin Battalion as they fight back against Israeli raids in the occupied West Bank. “I have no other choice but to carry my gun and to resist until I die because as things are now, I’m dead while breathing.” Abu Aseel, not his real name, believes resorting to weapons is the only way of protecting himself and his family, who live in Jenin, a Palestinian city in the occupied West Bank. Like many young men from the impoverished refugee camp, Abu Aseel has taken up arms and joined the Jenin Battalion, a relatively new armed group formed to keep Israeli forces out of the city.
