Nearly a year since the Palestinian-Israeli film No Other Land won an Academy Award, its co-director, Hamdan Ballal, says Israeli settler attacks on the cluster of occupied West Bank villages known as Masafer Yatta have only gotten worse, as those involved in the documentary bear the brunt of Israeli reprisals. The latest bout of violence came on Sunday, when Israeli settlers stormed Ballal's hometown of Susya, despite an Israeli court ruling designating the area around his home as closed to non-residents.
