On Saturday, the Israeli army occupied the home of Palestinian filmmaker Basel Adra, winner of the Oscar thanks to the documentary 'No Other Land', after groups of settlers attacked the village of Al Tuwani, south of the occupied West Bank.

Israeli director Yuval Abraham, who was also co-director of the film, has reported the incident. "I am very afraid for Basel right now because the settlers attack the villages of Palestine and then the soldiers arrive and attack the Palestinians," Abraham said.

The Red Moon has confirmed in a statement that three Palestinians have been injured in the attack by settlers and two of them have been taken to hospital.

Now according to Abraham, the soldiers have entered the house of Adra, and are looking for him, for they do not know where he is.

On July 28, in one of those attacks, Odeh Hadalin, an activist and collaborator of the film, was shot dead by a settler in Masafer Yatta.

The settler Yinon Levi was sanctioned by the European Union and the United States 2024 for violent attacks on the Palestinians.

In March of this year, Basal Adra himself reported that the third co-director of the film, Hamdan Ballal, hadbeen arrestedafter being beaten by settlers in Susiya, south of the occupied West Bank.
