Locals were arrested, vehicles were damaged and the gates to animal pens were breached, allowing sheep to escape.

The attack follows another major one on Friday, during which settlers beat Palestinians with iron bars, resulting in at least two major head injuries.

#Israeli forces arrested 22 #Palestinians - but no settlers.

Calling it #Apartheid or #genocide is supposedly antisemitism, but what other words can you use for how #israele treats Palestinians in #Gaza and the #WestBank. This has s not new but has escalated so much that denying actually an actively happening genocide is more than just dishonest. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/27/middleeast/ballal-palestinian-oscar-settler-assault-interview-intl-cmd/index.html

21st Century LAND THEFT / LAND GRABBING:

"Indeed, when the attacks commenced, three Palestinians were seized by the Israeli military, detained, and then subjected to police interrogation. Such violent raids are far from unique in West Bank, especially in the areas of South Hebron Hills, Masafer Yatta and the Jordan river valley. Since the start of this year, the Centre for Jewish Non Violence has documented more than 40 violent settler attacks in the village of Susya alone.

Most go unnoticed by the rest of the world. But this time was different. One of the Palestinian victims was the award-winning director Hamdan Ballal, whose film, No Other Land, which covers the destruction of Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank, won best documentary at the recent Academy Awards. For hours, the military didn’t officially disclose his whereabouts, and attempts to locate him failed. When the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) finally issued a statement, they absurdly labelled him and his fellow villagers terrorists.

This facade of justice, when law is nothing but an empty shell, is typical of how the Israeli occupation works. Under its veneer of legality, the most brutal savagery is legitimised and the role of criminal and victim inverted."

“Israel strikes Beirut for first time since Hezbollah ceasefire. Plumes of smoke rise from suburb of Dahiyeh in Lebanese capital after airstrike that threatens fragile truce.” I don’t think Israel threatens fragile truce it’s driving a sledgehammer through it. When is this cruel and nasty little country going to be stopped? #Israel #Lebanon #Gaza #WestBank #Palestine #Syria

„Ein Mob israelischer Siedler hat den palästinensischen Filmemacher und Aktivisten Hamdan Ballal nur drei Wochen, nachdem der von ihm mitregierte Dokumentarfilm über die Gewalt der israelischen Besatzung Palästinas, „No Other Land“, einen Oscar gewonnen hatte, angegriffen.

Laut seinem Co-Direktor Yuval Abraham und Zeugen rief Ballal laut Haaretz einen Krankenwagen, nachdem ihn Siedler angegriffen hatten. Er wurde jedoch von israelischen Soldaten festgenommen, die den Krankenwagen anhielten, um ihn zu verhaften. Sein aktueller Zustand und sein Aufenthaltsort sind unbekannt."

"Invece di usare troppe parole, possiamo descrivere in due parole questo complesso dove l'esercito intende concentrare gli abitanti di Gaza, dopo averli fatti fuggire dai luoghi in cui si trovano attualmente con minacce e bombe: un campo di concentramento.
Questa è la definizione più precisa, la più efficace, quella che più ci aiuta a capire a che punto siamo."

Israeli authorities have released “No Other Land” co-director Hamdan Ballal after holding him overnight at an army base.

“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.”

Basel Adra, another of the film’s co-directors, says there’s been a massive upswing in attacks by settlers and Israeli forces since the Oscar win.

I bambini amputati di #Gaza combattono contro il trauma psicologico, oltre a quello fisico, della perdita degli arti in mezzo allo stop degli aiuti umanitari imposto da #Israele.

"Il 2 marzo Israele ha vietato l'ingresso a tutte le forniture mediche, nonché a cibo, carburante e altri aiuti. La ripresa della campagna militare da parte di Israele la scorsa settimana, che ha ucciso centinaia di palestinesi, non ha fatto altro che aumentare le fila degli amputati."

„Palestinian filmmaker Hamdan Ballal and two others were released by Israeli authorities after being detained in the West Bank. Their arrest followed an assault by Jewish settlers during Ramadan. Ballal, co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary 'No Other Land,' claims the attack and detention were linked to the film’s international success highlighting Palestinian struggles.“

"Hamdan Ballal and two other Palestinians left a police station in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba, where they were being held on Tuesday. Ballal had bruises on his face and blood on his clothes.

The three had spent the night on the floor of a military base while suffering from serious injuries sustained in the attack"

I suspect the international outcry had something to do with it. Otherwise...

About 40 percent of Palestinian males have been imprisoned by Israel at some point in their lives, a human rights lawyer said.

“It’s the highest rate of incarceration in the world, and it’s because Israel creates this system whereby the means of controlling Palestinians is through their imprisonment.”
