Extremist Israeli settlers attack NBC News team interviewing Palestinian in West Bank

On August 29, 2026, three members of the NBC News team were attacked by Israeli settlers in the West Bank while conducting an interview with Aida Ahmed Abdullah, a 51-year-old Palestinian woman who alleged her family had been displaced by settlers. The attackers, identified as masked individuals in a vehicle, assaulted the journalists and a cameraman, with NBC correspondent Matt Bradley sustaining two arm injuries. Abdullah was also hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The attackers reportedly carried a gun but did not discharge it. The incident occurred in a Palestinian neighborhood, according to NBC's camera operator Khaldoon Eid. In response, the Israel Press Council condemned the attack, calling for enhanced security for media teams and demanding legal action against those responsible.
