The wife of an Oscar-winning Palestinian director who was attacked by Jewish settlers before being detained by the Israeli army said Tuesday that he was beaten in front of his home by three men in military fatigues while another filmed it.
Hamdan Ballal and the other directors of “No Other Land,” which looks at the struggles of living under Israeli occupation, had mounted the stage at the 97th Academy Awards in Los Angeles earlier this month when it won the award for best documentary film.
