Palestinians celebrated the fifth annual festival of nonviolent popular resistance in the south Hebron hills on Saturday in the village of Um Fagarah.

In the tiny hamlet nestled between Israeli settlements and a closed military zone, children released balloons and performed traditional dances, marking the end of a summer camp.

Israeli forces arrived amid the celebrations, prompting local elders to send the children back into the heart of the village to continue their festivities, but events passed peacefully.
