within 24 hours Israel forcibly disappeared a Palestinian filmmaker in the West Bank and killed two Palestinian journalists in Gaza
Hamdan Ballal was forcibly disappeared by Israeli soldiers after having been assaulted by Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians in Susyia, a village in the occupied West Bank. He has now been released, but those who carried out the attacks must be held accountable.
