Israeli settlers attack German journalists in occupied West Bank
German international broadcaster DW says that two of its journalists were attacked by Israeli settlers while reporting in the occupied West Bank.
The pair, a correspondent and cameraperson, were in the Palestinian village of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, when they were pelted with rocks and chased, the broadcaster said in a statement.
They had been in the village to report on a protest over settler violence against Palestinians. The attack took place on Friday, but the broadcaster did not make it public until today.
“We are relieved that they were not physically injured in the attack and were able to get to safety,” DW’s director general, Peter Limbourg, said. “There is no justification for this attack. We strongly demand that the Israeli government guarantee the safety of all journalists in the West Bank.”
