Traditional West Bank pottery survives despite occupation

Traditional West Bank pottery survives despite occupation

A minority of Israeli settlers, protected by soldiers, have made life difficult for Palestinians in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank. But the city is also home to the traditional art of hand-painted pottery and glass-blowing.

Al Jazeera's Stefanie Dekker reports on an industry that has survived for generations.
