[David__77]

A CNN reporter says his crew was attacked by settlers while they were in the West Bank on Monday to cover the death of a 20-year-old Palestinian-American who was allegedly beaten to death by Israelis near Ramallah several days ago.

“As we were covering this story, my team and I were attacked by Israeli settlers. The back window of our vehicle was smashed, but we managed to escape unharmed,” tweets CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond.

“This is just a sliver of the reality many Palestinians face in the West Bank amid rising settler violence.”

Earlier this month, two reporters from Deutsche Welle were injured in an attack by settlers in the same area.
