Israeli settlers wearing masks attacked European diplomats in the occupied West Bank during an olive harvest, according to multiple reports. The incident occurred near the village of Al-Muqata, where the diplomats were visiting. Videos circulating online showed masked men confronting vehicles, with images shared alongside the footage showing a broken window on one of the cars.
The attack took place amid heightened tensions between Israeli settlers and Palestinian communities. Israeli police have confirmed they are investigating the alleged assault. The victims included diplomats from European countries, though specific nationalities were not disclosed. The incident happened during a time of increased settler activity in the West Bank, with reports of clashes and property damage.
This is not the first time settlers have targeted foreign officials in the region. In recent months, similar incidents have been reported, often involving masked individuals and attacks on vehicles. The Israeli government has called for increased security measures, while international diplomats have expressed concern over the escalating violence. The situation remains under close scrutiny as authorities investigate the details of the attack.
