Israel releases Oscar-winning #Palestinian director after he was attacked by West Bank settlers
By JULIA FRANKEL
Updated 11:55 AM EDT, March 25, 2025HEBRON, #WestBank (AP) — "#Israeli authorities released an Oscar-winning Palestinian director who was detained by the army after being attacked by #JewishSettlers in the occupied West Bank. He said they beat him in front of his home while they filmed the assault.
"#HamdanBallal and the other directors of '#NoOtherLand,' which looks at the struggles of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation, had mounted the stage at the 97th Academy Awards in Los Angeles earlier this month when it won the award for best documentary film.
"On Tuesday, with bruises on his face and blood on his clothes, he was released from an Israeli police station in the West Bank settlement of #KiryatArba. He and two other Palestinians who had been attacked and detained were taken to a nearby hospital.
"Ballal said he was held at an army base, blindfolded for 24 hours and forced to sleep under a freezing air conditioner.
"'All my body is pain,' he told The Associated Press. “I heard the voices of the soldiers, they were laughing about me … I heard ‘Oscar’ but I didn’t speak Hebrew.'
"Lea Tsemel, the attorney representing the three men, said they received only minimal care for their injuries from the attack and that she had no access to them for several hours after their arrest."

#OscarWinning #Palestinian Film Co-Director Attacked by #IsraeliSettlers, Detained
March 25, 2025
"#HamdanBallal, the Palestinian co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary #NoOtherLand, was attacked by illegal #Israeli Jewish settlers in the occupied #WestBank, Al-Jazeera Arabic website, and other sources reported on Monday.
"His fellow co-director, #YuvalAbraham, shared the details of the assault on social media, stating, 'A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co-director of our film No Other Land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding.'
"Ballal was severely beaten by the settlers and called for an ambulance. However, the situation took a dire turn when Israeli soldiers intervened and forcibly took him away.
"Abraham further explained, 'Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.' As of now, there has been no information on Ballal’s whereabouts, leaving his colleagues and supporters increasingly concerned for his safety.
"No Other Land is a collaboration between Palestinian and #Israeli filmmakers that documents the destruction of #MasaferYatta, a village in the West Bank, by Israeli military forces.
"The documentary has won international acclaim, including the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. However, the film has also faced backlash and controversy, especially in Israel.
"A video released by the #CenterForJewishNonviolence shows masked settlers attacking Jewish activists with stones and sticks. The activists, including those filming the incident, were targeted and their car windows were smashed.
"One of the activists, Josh Kimelman, spoke to the Associated Press, stating, 'We don’t know where Hamdan is because he was taken away in a blindfold.' The Israeli military has claimed that it is investigating the incident but has not provided any additional information on the matter."

So, I called the death of #AysenurEygi to be an assassination by the #IDF. Given what's going on with #MahmoudKhalil, I stand by that statement.

#Israel using internationally banned bombs in #Lebanon, chemists union says
October 7, 2024
"The Syndicate of Chemists in Lebanon (#SCL) warned yesterday that the extent of destruction and the depth of damage to buildings and the ground confirms the use of internationally banned bombs containing #DepletedUranium by #Israeli forces, warning of the risk of contracting many diseases as a result of inhaling the [#radioactive] dust caused by the bombing.
"It said in a 'very important warning” that it condemns “the barbaric aggression against civilians in Lebanon and the massacres being committed against the Lebanese people,' noting that the warning aims 'to raise awareness about the effects of inhaling the dust from Israeli bombings in several Lebanese areas.'
"'The extent of destruction and the penetration of buildings and ground by dozens of metres is evidence of the use of #bombs containing depleted #uranium, which has tremendous penetrating power,' it added.
"The SCL stressed that “the use of such types of internationally banned weapons, especially in densely populated #Beirut, leads to massive destruction, and their dust causes many diseases, especially when inhaled.'
"The SCL called on 'the international community to stop the aggression against Lebanon, and to stop the use of internationally banned bombs.'
"It also called on the Lebanese state to file a lawsuit with the #UNSecurityCouncil 'against the violations taking place on Lebanese soil and the attempted mass killings of innocent #civilians.'"

#IsraeliAirstrikes Target Medical Facility, Kill Five Health Ministry Workers
By Niko Georgiades, #UnicornRiot
October 2, 2024
#Gaza, Palestine — "More than 1,150 Palestinians working in the health sector in Gaza have been killed by #Israeli forces since Oct. 7, 2023 — one of many atrocities inflicted upon #Palestinians over the last year. Two weeks ago, 986 health workers who’ve been killed were named publicly. Four days later, on Sept. 21, five #GazaHealthMinistry (#GHM) workers were killed when Israel bombed a medical storage facility in the southern Gaza Strip.
"As of Wednesday, nearly 41,700 Palestinians are officially listed by the GHM as being killed by Israel over the last year in the bombarded #GazaStrip and over 96,625 have been injured. A massive part of the two-plus million Palestinian residents in Gaza have been forcibly displaced."
