JERUSALEM: Israeli settlers beat up one of the Palestinian co-directors of the Oscar-winning documentary film “No Other Land” on Monday in the occupied West Bank before he was detained by the Israeli military, according to two of his fellow directors and other witnesses.
The filmmaker — Hamdan Ballal — was one of three Palestinians detained in the village of Susiya, according to attorney Leah Tsemmel.
Police told her they’re being held at a military base for medical treatment and she said she hasn’t been able to speak with them.
