NBC News and Palestinian Woman Beaten by Masked Israeli Settlers in West Bank

NBC said four staffers and a Palestinian woman were hurt after masked settlers attacked the crew with sticks and rocks while they were interviewing her.

  • On Saturday, August 29, 2026, dozens of masked Israeli settlers besieged Palestinian homes in Qusra and attacked an NBC News crew and a Palestinian woman in nearby Jalud with sticks and rocks, injuring multiple people.
  • Masked militants have conducted a nearly three-week siege of Qusra, blocking supplies and trapping Palestinian families inside their homes amid a broader surge in West Bank settler violence.
  • Security forces seized three vehicles and opened a police investigation, yet residents reported soldiers fired tear gas into homes and detained Palestinians inside while allowing attackers to leave without arrest.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the attacks as "criminal acts of violence" by a "handful of rioters," while U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee called the perpetrators "Israeli terrorists" after weeks of international pressure.
  • UN inquiries and rights groups document roughly 190 settler attacks monthly across the West Bank in 2026, with investigations finding security forces directly involved in incidents displacing and injuring Palestinians.
