Hamdan Ballal, the Palestinian director of the Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land,” is released from a police station in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba on Tuesday, March 25. The day before, Ballal was attacked by a mob of Israeli settlers in front of his home in the village of Susya. Afterward, he and two other Palestinians were taken away by Israeli soldiers and detained. The Israeli military accused Ballal of throwing stones at soldiers and said that he had been detained on suspicion of rock hurling, property damage and endangering regional security. Ballal disputes the military’s interpretation of the events. Attacks on Palestinian farmers and activists in the occupied West Bank are not new. But the ferocity of the attack – and Ballal’s subsequent detention – made him feel that the settlers – and the Israeli military – were taking revenge for the film and its international reach, he told CNN.
