Israeli Army Raids Home of Oscar-Winning Filmmaker Basel Adra

HeadlineSep 15, 2025

In the occupied West Bank, the Israeli army raided the home of the Palestinian activist and filmmaker Basel Adra, who won an Oscar for the documentary “No Other Land.” Adra said, “The police, the army came when the settlers were attacking us. They did not stop them. One of the settlers chased one of the solidarity activists, and he beat her on the ground. The soldiers were watching, didn’t do anything.” The film “No Other Land” documented efforts by settlers to forcibly displace Adra’s community in the area known as Masafer Yatta.
