RAMALLAH, Palestine / ISTANBUL (AA) – An Anadolu photojournalist was injured in an attack by illegal Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday.

Issam al-Rimawi was hit on his head with a stick by the settlers as he was covering settler assaults in Al-Mughayyir village, east of Ramallah in the central West Bank, according to an Anadolu reporter.

The attack caused the photojournalist to lose consciousness, he added.

Rimawi was transferred to the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah.

Since the start of the Israeli onslaught on the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, 2023, at least 970 Palestinians have been killed and more than 7,000 injured in attacks by the Israeli army and illegal settlers across the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

The International Court of Justice declared last July that Israel’s longstanding occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal, and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
