As a movie enthusiast, I’m relieved to share that Hamdan Ballal, a key figure among the quartet of filmmakers who created the Academy Award-winning documentary “No Other Land,” has reportedly been released after sustaining injuries and being held by Israeli military forces. The news comes from activist sources.
Initially, the Center for Jewish Nonviolence stated that the Palestinian filmmaker was allegedly assaulted by Israeli settlers and subsequently detained by the Israeli military in his native village of Susiya.
Co-director Yuval Abraham shared on X that a mob had brutally killed Hamdan Ballal, co-director of our film “No Other Land”. He sustained severe head and stomach injuries and was bleeding profusely. When an ambulance was called, soldiers stormed it and took him away. There has been no news or sighting of him since.
Later on, Hamdan Ballal shared that he was released, expressing: “Following a night of being handcuffed and experiencing beatings at a military base, Hamdan Ballal is now a free man and is preparing to return home to his loved ones.
Earlier, my colleague Basel Adra informed The Associated Press that approximately two dozen settlers, some concealing their identities behind masks and brandishing firearms, assaulted the village. A bystander at the scene reported: “We are unaware of Hamdan’s whereabouts as he was taken away, his eyes covered.
As I pen this movie review, I must share with you an unfolding event that feels eerily like the plot of a tense drama. In the small village of Susiya, Israeli police found themselves in the midst of a heated confrontation. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF), speaking through BBC News, informed us that their officers were called to quell this conflict. However, instead of dialogue and diplomacy, it appears the situation escalated when rocks were thrown at the security forces, adding a dangerous edge to this already volatile scenario. It’s an unfortunate reminder that real-life stories can sometimes mirror the dramatic tensions we see on our movie screens.
In reaction, troops arrested three individuals of Palestinian origin who were believed to have thrown stones at them, along with a fellow Israeli citizen engaged in the physical altercation.
The individuals being held were transported for more interrogation by the Israeli law enforcement. During this event, an Israeli resident sustained injuries and required immediate medical attention, which they received.
In response, they arrested three individuals believed to have thrown stones at them, along with a civilian Israeli who was part of the violent altercation. These individuals were then questioned more thoroughly by the Israeli police. During this event, an Israeli citizen sustained injuries and was transported for medical attention.
“Contrary to claims, no Palestinian was apprehended from inside an ambulance.”
A film titled “No Other Land,” portraying the devastation of a Palestinian settlement in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, was helmed by directors Ballal and Adra, two individuals of Palestinian descent, and Abraham and Rachel Szor, two individuals who are Israeli.
