WEST BANK (Dispatches) – Two journalists from the German state broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) were attacked by Zionist settlers while reporting in the occupied West Bank, the outlet said on Saturday. The correspondent and cameraman came under assault in the Palestinian village of Sinjil, north of Ramallah. They were covering a planned protest against mounting settler violence when a group of settlers hurled stones at them and chased them from the scene. The DW crew managed to escape without physical injury, but the cameraman’s vehicle was severely damaged. According to DW, other international journalists present during the attack were also forced to flee after coming under a barrage of stones. DW director Peter Limbourg condemned the assault, calling for immediate accountability.
