Oscar-winning Palestinian director Basel Adra says his home in West Bank raided by Israeli soldiers


Adra spent the night outside the village, unable to get home and check on his family because soldiers were blocking the village entrance and he was scared of being detained, he said. Videos filmed by Adra’s cousin and viewed by the AP showed settlers attacking a man Adra identified as his brother, Adam Adra, who was hospitalized with bruising to his left hand, elbow and chest, according to hospital records shared with the AP. “What happened today in his village, we’ve seen this dynamic again and again, where the Israeli settlers brutally attack a Palestinian village and later on the army comes, and attacks the Palestinians.”
