NBC journalists attacked as settler violence continues across occupied West Bank

Men wearing masks attacked an NBC News television crew near the occupied West Bank village of Jalud while the journalists were interviewing a Palestinian woman who said she had been driven from her home by Israeli settlers, Palestinian news agency Wafa reported. The incident comes amid a wider escalation of settler violence across the occupied territory. Israeli forces also bulldozed Palestinian-owned land in Deir Ballut, while hundreds of settlers, accompanied by Israeli forces, raided Islamic religious sites in Awarta, local media said. Two elderly sisters were wounded in an alleged settler assault in Silwad on Saturday, while attacks and raids were also reported overnight in Arrabeh, al-Mughayyir, Burqa, Masafer Yatta, Khallet al-Hummus, Yasouf, Khalayel al-Louz and Nablus.
