Israeli Forces Occupy Home of Oscar-Winning Palestinian Filmmaker Basel Adra After Settler Attack

The raid follows a settler assault in Al Tuwani during a period of rising settler violence across the occupied West Bank.

Overview

  • Codirector Yuval Abraham told EFE that soldiers searched Adra’s Al Tuwani home and that his whereabouts were unknown.
  • The Palestine Red Crescent said it treated three Palestinians injured in the settler assault, with two transferred to hospital.
  • Abraham reported that some of Adra’s relatives were beaten by settlers during the attack on the village.
  • The Israeli army declined to comment when asked about the occupation of the filmmaker’s home.
  • The incident comes weeks after the July 28 killing of film collaborator Odeh Hadalin in Masafer Yatta and against reports of increased settler attacks since October 2023, despite 2024 U.S. and EU sanctions on alleged attacker Yinon Levi.
