The Oscar-winning documentary, No Other Land, directed by an Israeli-Palestinian team, sheds light on violence in the occupied West Bank. Recently, co-director Hamdan Ballal was reportedly lynched by Israeli settlers, inciting distress among his colleagues and family. Filmmaker Yuval Abraham shared on social media that Ballal was brutally attacked, leading to serious injuries and abduction by soldiers. Fellow director Basel Adra also corroborated the incident, expressing the impact of this violence on both Ballal's family and the broader Palestinian community amid ongoing ethnic strife in the region.
"A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co-director of our film No Other Land, Abraham said in a tweet. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding."
"I'm standing with Karam, Hamdan's 7 year old son, near the blood of Hamdan's in his house, after settlers lynched him. Hamdan... is still missing after soldiers abducted him, injured and bleeding."
