Israeli settlers attacked a CNN news crew over the weekend as it traveled to the Palestinian town of Sinjil in the West Bank to report on the death of a US citizen, according to the network’s Jerusalem-based correspondent Jeremy Diamond.
Diamond, a veteran journalist and former CNN White House correspondent, said he and his crew were targeted while on assignment investigating the death of 20-year-old Florida native Saif al-Din Kamil Abdul Karim Musalat.
Musalat was visiting family in Sinjil when he was allegedly beaten by Israeli settlers. His relatives say settlers also blocked ambulances from reaching him as he lay dying from his injuries.
