Divine Intervention DVD cover

Divine Intervention (Arabic: yadun ilahi يد إلهي) is a 2002 film by the Israeli Palestinian director Elie Suleiman, which may be described as a surreal black comedy. The film consists largely of a series of brief sketches, but for the most part records a day in the life of a Palestinian living in Jerusalem, whose girlfriend lives across the border of the West Bank in Ramallah.

Its best-known scenes are the rather surreal sections featuring a beautiful sunglasses-wearing Palestinian woman (played by Manal Khader) whose passing by not only distracts all eyes, but causes Israeli guard towers to crumble.

It is nominated for "Palme d'Or" award at 2002 Cannes Film Festival.
