:"Under Siege is also the name of an action movie starring Steven Seagal.""Under Siege" ("Taht-al-hissar" تحت الحصار) is a sequel to the video game "Under Ash" designed by Radwan Kasmiya. Like "Under Ash", it is a first-person shooter, with the option of playing the game as a third-person shooter. The game focuses on the lives of a Palestinian family between 1999 and 2002 during the second Intifada. The player shoots at Israeli Defense Force soldiers throughout most of the game. However, shooting at civilians or otherwise hurting them ends the game.

The game has been described as a "docugame", since all the game levels are based on actual events.Fact|date=September 2008
