Settlers beat Palestinians and Washington Post journalist in West Bank
Israeli settlers attacked and beat a group of Palestinians and an American photojournalist working for The Washington Post. The journalist required surgery on his hand.
Why it matters
Attacks on journalists add to international scrutiny of settler violence in the occupied West Bank.
Background
Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967, and hundreds of thousands of Israeli settlers live there in settlements most of the world considers illegal under international law, which Israel disputes. Settler violence against Palestinians has been a recurring concern for rights groups.
