No Other Land, Hamdan Ballal reportedly assaulted and detained by Israeli forces.

Palestinian filmmaker, Hamdan Ballal, co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, was assaulted by West Bank settlers and later detained by Israeli forces, his co-director Yuval Abraham reported Monday. Ballal was attacked in the Palestinian village of Susya, Masafer Yatta, sustaining injuries to his head and stomach. He managed to call an ambulance, but Israeli soldiers removed him from it. Attorney Lea Tsemel, representing Ballal and two other detained Palestinians, said they were reportedly held at a military base for medical treatment but had been unreachable since. Basel Adra, another co-director, witnessed the attack, claiming settlers—some masked and armed—raided the village while soldiers pointed guns at Palestinians. He suspects this is retaliation for their documentary, which highlights life under Israeli occupation. The military stated that three Palestinians and one Israeli civilian were detained following clashes, though witnesses dispute their claims. No Other Land has won international awards but faced backlash in Israel and abroad.
