But Palestinian witnesses and a group of American activists on the scene said that before he was arrested, Mr. Ballal was set upon as a group of assailants, many of whom were masked, attacked his home village of Susya.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The episode drew attention to rising settler violence in the West Bank. During the past year, Jewish extremists have thrown rocks at Palestinians, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2025\/01\/20\/world\/israel-hamas-cease-fire#west-bank-settlers-attack-palestinian-villages-angry-about-prisoner-releases\" title=\"\">set cars on fire<\/a> and defaced homes. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unocha.org\/publications\/report\/occupied-palestinian-territory\/humanitarian-situation-update-252-west-bank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">recorded more than 1,000 incidents<\/a> of settler violence in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">President Trump has taken a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/21\/world\/middleeast\/israel-trump-settlers-west-bank-gaza.html\" title=\"\">softer stance on settler violence<\/a>, canceling sanctions imposed by the Biden administration against individuals accused of carrying out violent acts against Palestinians. On Tuesday, a confirmation hearing for Mike Huckabee, Mr. Trump\u2019s pick for ambassador to Israel and an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/13\/world\/middleeast\/huckabee-israel-witkoff-middle-east-us.html\" title=\"\">outspoken supporter of settlement building<\/a>, is set to begin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The two sides provided different accounts about how the episode. In a statement, the Israeli military said \u201cseveral terrorists\u201d had hurled stones at Israeli vehicles, igniting a violent confrontation in which Israelis and Palestinians threw rocks at one another.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Nasser Nawaja, a fieldworker for the Israeli human rights group B\u2019Tselem who lives in Susya, and other Palestinians said the confrontation began after the town\u2019s residents had sought to drive away Israeli shepherds herding livestock on land claimed by the village. The group of masked Israelis soon joined the others on the outskirts of the village, where they attacked two Palestinian homes, they said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Two American activists with a group that provides protection in areas vulnerable to settler violence, Josh Kimelman and Joseph Kaplan Weinger, said they responded to distress calls from Palestinians. The attackers also surrounded their car, smashing it with stones, they said. They were just a few minutes\u2019 walk from Mr. Ballal\u2019s house at the time, Mr. Kimelman said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Tsemel, the detainees\u2019 lawyer, said that she had spoken with her clients by phone. She said that Mr. Ballal told her that an Israeli assailant punched him, knocking him over, and continued to beat him while he lay on the ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ballal said he received some medical treatment at an Israeli military facility before being held handcuffed and blindfolded on the floor of a detention center, according to Ms. Tsemel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Basel Adra, another director of the documentary, said that he was also at the scene. He shared video footage that he said he had filmed of a blindfolded man he identified as Mr. Ballal being marched by Israeli forces to waiting vehicles. Mr. Adra said Israeli soldiers and police officers on the scene did little to stop the masked Israeli assailants, even as they sought to disperse the Palestinians. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the claims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ballal was among four directors \u2014 the others were Mr. Adra, Rachel Szor and Yuval Abraham \u2014 in a Palestinian-Israeli collective that received the Academy Award for best documentary this month. The film documents the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/07\/24\/world\/middleeast\/israel-seeks-army-use-of-west-bank-area.html\" title=\"\">demolition of West Bank residents\u2019 homes<\/a> in or near the villages of Masafer Yatta by Israeli forces claiming the area for a live-fire military <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/07\/24\/world\/middleeast\/israel-seeks-army-use-of-west-bank-area.html\" title=\"\">training ground<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After enduring repeated attacks, Palestinian residents in the southern West Bank, including from Mr. Hamdan\u2019s village, took their case to the Israeli Supreme Court at the end of 2023, arguing that Israeli security authorities were not protecting them from attacks, and that as a result, some villagers had fled their homes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a ruling, the court expressed concern over Israel\u2019s failure to protect them and said the government \u2014 including the Israeli military \u2014 must protect Palestinians against future attacks \u201ceven in the complicated circumstances of this period.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n
