Hamdan Bilal, who co-directed the Oscar-winning documentary 'No Other Land' alongside Yuval Abraham, was arrested Monday night on suspicion of throwing stones at Israeli security forces, according to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit. "Last night, several assailants threw stones at Israeli civilians, damaging their vehicles near Sussiya in the Judea Brigade sector. A violent confrontation then broke out at the scene, involving mutual rock-throwing between Palestinians and Israelis. Upon the arrival of IDF and police forces to disperse the confrontation, a number of assailants began throwing stones at security personnel. In response, the forces arrested three Palestinians suspected of hurling stones at the security forces, as well as one Israeli civilian involved in the altercation. The detainees were taken for further questioning by Israeli police. An Israeli civilian injured in the incident was evacuated for medical treatment. Contrary to claims, no Palestinian inside an ambulance was arrested," the iDF said in a statement.
