Masked Israeli settlers attacked an NBC News team and a Palestinian woman near the West Bank village of Jalud on Saturday, injuring several people and damaging journalists’ equipment and a vehicle, according to the US legacy media broadcaster.
Correspondent Matt Bradley said the crew had been accompanying 51-year-old Aida Ahmed Abdullah to a home her family said it had abandoned because of previous settler violence when a vehicle bearing Israeli licence plates approached and at least three masked men emerged armed with sticks and rocks.
“They jumped out, beat us, then jumped back in the car,” Bradley said, adding that he was struck twice on the arm and later received medical treatment, while Abdullah was also taken for treatment.
The Foreign Press Association condemned the assault as part of what it called a “recurring pattern of violence against members of the press and Palestinian civilians” and called for Israeli authorities to investigate, with no arrests reported by Sunday.
The incident comes amid a sharp rise in West Bank settler violence, with the UN reporting in June that more than 1,000 attacks resulting in casualties or property damage had been recorded during 2026, averaging six incidents a day and representing the highest rate since its records began.
The violence has coincided with continued Israeli settlement expansion, including plans for thousands of additional homes, which have drawn international criticism over their potential impact on the viability of a future Palestinian state.

Hopefully, the Palestinians living in THEIR HOMES will be supplied by drones, with the cargo to include food, medicine and a mini-gun with 4,000 rounds of ammo and a few RPG’s for defending themselves and their homes from the Zionist masked & hooded genocidal land-thieving criminals!

RPG’s?? Or DIY rocket launchers built with pipes from the home that is being illegally invaded?
But, if the Palestinians do not have materials to build basic defence weapons, then surely there is material laying around the home to fabricate SOMETHING!
Seems as though the Palestinians have the Right to Self Defence as per the UN Treaty Chapter 7 Article 51..!
Israeli DEATH Force.
“Settler” TERRORISTS were filmed a couple of decades ago beating up Palestinians.
THIS IS NOTHING NEW!!
Is there a difference? Isn’t serving in the Israel Death Force mandatory for the young?
NBC are not your average innocent and impartial media organization. These political activist “journalists” deserve every bit of rough treatment. NBC are not there to promote peace, but sew discontent and division. No sympathy should be harvested.
