Hamdan Ballal was attacked by a mob of Israeli settlers in front of his home, in the village of Susya , West Bank .

He had flown to Los Angeles to accept an Oscar for the film, " No Other Land ," a documentary he co-directed about the violence and forced displacement of Palestinian villagers for illegal Israeli settlements in those same hills.

The Israeli military says the Palestinian detainees were given medical treatment and “handcuffed in accordance with operational protocol”.

At least 1,420 incidents of settler violence in the occupied West Bank were recorded, U.N. says.

At least five Palestinians were reportedly killed, including a child, and 360 others injured, the UN says.

The violence has become worse since the re-election of US President Donald Trump , activists say.
