Palestinian filmmaker Hamdan Ballal, co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary 'Sem Chão', reported that Israeli soldiers invaded his home in the West Bank. In a post on social media, he shared details of the alleged incident which took place on Saturday (14). According to Ballal, the army detained and assaulted family members, resulting in one of his brothers needing hospitalization due to the injuries sustained. This incident highlights the ongoing tension and violence experienced by Palestinian residents in the region.

Ballal explained that he had recently obtained a court ruling from the Israeli government indicating that the area around his home, which is frequented by Israeli settlers and soldiers, should only be accessible to the residents. However, he claims that settlers continually violate this order, traversing the territories with their livestock. The filmmaker's account sheds light on the persistent violations of regulations aimed at protecting Palestinian residents in the West Bank, exacerbating an already fraught situation.

The situation reflects the broader humanitarian crisis in the region, as Palestinians face military incursions and violations of their rights amid ongoing conflicts. The fact that these incidents occur regularly has raised concerns within the global community regarding the treatment of Palestinians, as documented in films like 'Sem Chão'. This incident not only underscores the personal toll on individuals like Ballal but also symbolizes the larger struggles faced by communities in the region due to the societal and political climate.
