Basel Adra himself was in the hospital after two of his brothers and a cousin were injured when Israeli settlers attacked their village, which is located on the occupied West Bank.
In the hospital, he was told that nine soldiers had stormed his house in search of him and, among other things, had deprived a uncle of his freedom and gone through his wife's phone.
Adras states to the news agency AP late on Saturday evening that he cannot go home because the military has blocked all entrances to the village and that he is afraid of being deprived of his freedom.
Adra, journalist and filmmaker, won in the spring an Oscar for best long documentary for the film "No other land".
The documentary is made by both Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers, and shows the consequences of the Israeli settlement policy on the West Bank. It takes place in the Masafer Yatta area on the West Bank and depicts the destruction of a village, but also the friendship between Basel Adra and the Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham.
Another of the film's co-directors, Hamdan Ballal, was assaulted by Israeli settlers.
It's enough that you film the settlers, then the military comes and takes you and searches your house. The whole system is based on attacking us, putting fear in us, making us very afraid, he says now.
The military states according to The Times of Israel that they received reports that "a number of terrorists" had thrown stones at Israeli civilians and that they acted on this information.
