Masked Israeli settlers attacked an NBC News crew and a Palestinian woman, Aida Ahmed Abdullah, in the West Bank town of Jalud. The attackers used sticks, stones, and clubs to smash a vehicle windshield and beat Abdullah unconscious. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the act as vigilantism and a grave injustice. Some reports indicate this incident is part of a broader surge in settler violence and attacks on journalists.
