The Palestinian Freedom Theatre in the occupied West Bank will welcome actors back this weekend, just over a fortnight after an Israeli raid on the centre sparked an international outcry.

Its artistic director Ahmed Tobasi said the theatre in Jenin refugee camp had become a symbol of Palestinian resistance against Israel's occupation of the West Bank.
