Last night, Israeli soldiers broke into the Palestinian Oscar-winning director Basel Adra's home in the village of Tuvani on the West Bank, when only Adra's wife and younger daughter were in the house.The Israeli military has not allowed Adra's other families to accompany his intimidated wife, and searched around for identity papers and mobile phones.
Adela accused Israel of repressing Palestinian opinion leaders, journalists and others who dare to speak out against their occupation, and called on the international community to stop the genocide carried out by Israel in Gaza and impose harsh sanctions on Israel.
Adela’s documentary, “The Only Home,” won the Oscar for Best Documentary Film of the Year and numerous other international awards. Hamdan Barr, another Palestinian director who co-directed the film with Adela, was attacked by Israeli settlers and detained by the Israeli military in March this year, but the Israeli military denies this.
