Locking Down Jerusalem: Intifada 3.0 (Dispatch 2)

Synopsis

Ongoing violence in Jerusalem has escalated since a wave of stabbing attacks by young Palestinians against Israelis began in 2015. Israeli security forces have responded with increased measures, including checkpoints targeting young Palestinian males in mixed areas of the city. Most attacks originate from East Jerusalem, where residents experience greater freedom of movement. The leaderless nature of the violence complicates prevention efforts. The film examines the tense atmosphere in the Old City, the impact of security measures on daily life, and the historical context of escalating tensions, including the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers.
