Israeli army arrests Oscar-winning Palestinian filmmaker
The Israeli army arrested Palestinian filmmaker Hamdan Bilal in the occupied West Bank on Monday, weeks after ''No Other Land,'' the documentary he co-directed, won an Academy Award, according to his Israeli co-director Yuval Abraham.
In a post on X, Abraham said that a group of Israeli settlers attacked Bilal's home, leaving him wounded and bleeding. When an ambulance arrived to treat him, Israeli soldiers entered the vehicle and arrested him.
The incident took place in the village of Susiya, in the southern West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967, according to the Center for Jewish Nonviolence, an anti-settlement NGO.
Members of the organization said they were present at the scene and documented the arrest on video.

Millions of Israelis in Occupied Al-Quds and Tel Aviv Flock into Basements after Missile Fire from Yemen
Israeli media outlets reported on Sunday that sirens sounded heavily in occupied Al-Quds and Tel Aviv after a ballistic missile fire from Yemen, pushing millions of settlers into the basements. The Zionist defenses fire interceptor missiles, and the cops started a large-scale search operation in the area which witnessed the sirens sounding, knowing that the enemy army claimed it had managed to intercept the Yemeni ballistic missile. Yedioth Ahronoth mentioned that a number of flights, including those arriving from Boston and London, delayed their landings as the Ben Gurion airspace was closed temporarily after the missile fire. The Zionist media indicated that 43 ballistic missiles have been fired from Yemen since the resumption of the genocidal war on Gaza. The Yemeni Armed Forces said in a statement Thursday evening that 'the Yemeni missile force carried out a military operation targeting Lod Airport, known in 'Israel' as Ben Gurion Airport, in the occupied Jaffa region.'
