Israeli news crew attacked by extremist settlers
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Israeli news crew was attacked by settlers today during clashes with Palestinian olive harvesters in the West Bank, video from the scene shows.
Ohad Hemo of Channel 12 news and his cameraman were reporting on residents of Burka, a village near Ramallah, as they were accompanied by Palestinian volunteers to protect them while picking olives.
As the group walk toward the olive trees, they are confronted by several Israelis from the Oz Zion outpost, who try to stop them from approaching.
After one of the volunteers pushes a settler, fighting breaks out between the two sides.
During the clashes, some of the settlers throw stones at Hemo and his cameraman, and one of them hits the reporter in the arm with a cudgel.
