Israeli soldiers have barred journalists from entering villages in the West Bank on a planned tour organised by the directors of the Oscar-winning movie No Other Land.

The directors of the film, which focuses on settler attacks on Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied territory, said they had invited the journalists on the tour on Monday to interview residents about increasing settler violence in the area.
