Bruqin and Salfit Hills Through Mohammad Muhsin’s Lens

In the hills of Salfit, the village of Bruqin stands under the shadow of expanding settlements and faces constant threats from Israeli settler attacks. Through Mohammad Muhsin’s lens, daily life is framed by barbed wire, demolished homes, and the encroaching construction on confiscated land. Yet amid this siege, families remain steadfast with children playing near their homes, elders tending to the land, all holding onto their place as a quiet resilient act of resistance.
