On Saturday, an NBC News crew and a 51-year-old Palestinian woman, Aida Ahmed Abdullah, were attacked in the village of Jalud, located near Nablus in the West Bank. According to reports, the incident took place while the journalists were interviewing Abdullah, who had reportedly been displaced from her home due to ongoing tensions in the region.

Witnesses stated that a vehicle with Israeli license plates approached the group and reversed toward them. Several masked men then exited the vehicle armed with sticks. The assailants proceeded to beat members of the news crew and threw rocks at the group before fleeing the scene. The extent of the injuries sustained by the crew members and Abdullah has not been fully detailed, though the report confirms that Abdullah was wounded during the altercation. Jalud has been identified as a site of frequent confrontations between settlers and local residents in recent weeks. As of this report, no official statement has been released by Israeli authorities regarding the identity of the attackers or potential arrests related to the incident.
