One year on, No Other Land co-director says Israeli attacks intensifying
Hamdan Ballal says Israeli settlers attacked his family home again, with four relatives detained and one hospitalized amid escalating settler violence in the West Bank, court order unheeded.
- On Sunday, Israeli settlers stormed Hamdan Ballal's hometown of Susya, leaving four relatives arrested and one brother hospitalised.
- Two weeks after an Israeli court ruling closed the area to non-residents, the Israeli government approved resuming West Bank land registration, which critics say advances annexation.
- Ballal says the Israeli army arrived first, attacked everyone inside and arrested two brothers, a nephew and a cousin, while one brother was badly injured and hospitalised and another was later hospitalised with breathing difficulties.
- The film community amplified Ballal's statement and shared his post, while more than 900 AMPAS members condemned its initial response, prompting an apology and broader support.
- No Other Land documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta, and the film's site notes the July 28 death of Palestinian activist Awdah/ Odeh Hathaleen, who was featured in the film.
