WEST BANK, PALESTINE, JUL 15 – Israeli settlers attacked a CNN crew reporting on a U.S. citizen's death amid increasing settler violence and Israeli army restrictions limiting journalists' access to key West Bank areas.
- In recent weeks in the West Bank, Israeli settlers have targeted foreign journalists, including an incident on July 4 near Sinjil where settlers pursued a Deutsche Welle crew and damaged their vehicle.

- On July 8, the International Federation of Journalists reported growing violence by Israeli settlers and soldiers against Palestinian and international journalists, highlighting obstructed visits and blocked ambulances.
- CNN journalist Jeremy Diamond shared photos of his vehicle after it was damaged in an attack while he was reporting on the July 11 death of 20-year-old American Saif al-Din Mussalat in the West Bank town of Sinjil.
- The pattern of violence and restricted reporting space suggests worsening dangers for journalists and Palestinians, prompting calls for Israeli authorities to ensure journalist safety and investigate attacks.
