Oscar-Winning Filmmaker Hamdan Ballal Detained Following West Bank Clashes
Palestinian filmmaker Hamdan Ballal, who recently won an Academy Award for co-directing the documentary No Other Land, has reportedly been detained in the occupied West Bank amid fresh violence involving Israeli settlers and Palestinians. The incident occurred in the village of Susya, where activists and eyewitnesses say Ballal’s home was surrounded by masked settlers before he was detained by Israeli forces.
The situation has drawn international concern, especially given Ballal’s rising global recognition following his Oscar win just weeks ago.
