Palestinian Star of Cannes-Selected Doc Killed in Israeli Airstrike
Briefly

Fatima Hassouna, a Palestinian photojournalist, tragically lost her life along with nine family members in an Israeli air strike on Gaza City, just a day after her documentary was recognized at the Cannes Film Festival. The film, titled 'Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk,' directed by Sepideh Farsi, sheds light on the severe repercussions of Israel's invasion into Gaza. Farsi vehemently disputed the Israeli military's justification for the bombing, labeling it fabrications while expressing her deep sorrow over the loss of the Hassouna family.
The Israeli army said it bombed the house because there was a Hamas officer in there, which is totally false. I know the whole family. It's nonsense.
Fatima Hassouna and nine of her family members were killed in an Israeli air strike on Wednesday, just one day after a documentary featuring her was accepted into Cannes.
