Oscar-winning Palestinian director attacked by Jewish settlers and detained, activists say

Along with Ballal and Abraham, No Other Land was co-directed by Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli director Rachel Szor.

Hamdan Ballal, one of the Palestinian co-directors of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, was beaten in the occupied West Bank and detained by the Israeli military, activists on the scene said.

The group added that as he was being treated in an ambulance, soldiers detained him and a second Palestinian man.
