CNN crew attacked by Israeli settlers while reporting in occupied West Bank
Diamond had travelled to the area to interview the father of 20-year-old Saif Musallet, an American-Palestinian citizen and one of two Palestinians killed by Israeli settlers on Friday.
'As we were covering this story, my team & I were attacked by Israeli settlers. The back window of our vehicle was smashed, but we managed to escape unharmed,' he posted on X.
He added: 'This is just a sliver of the reality many Palestinians face in the West Bank amid rising settler violence.
Earlier this month two journalists from the German state broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) were attacked by Israeli settlers while reporting in the occupied West Bank.
The correspondent and cameraman came under assault in the Palestinian village of Sinjil, north of Ramallah. They were covering a planned protest against mounting settler violence when a group of settlers hurled stones at them and chased them from the scene.

Dozens killed and more than 100 wounded by Israeli fire near two aid centres
Gaza's civil defence agency said Israeli attacks killed 32 people and wounded more than 100 near two aid centres in the south of the Palestinian territory. Agency spokesman Mahmud Basal told AFP that Israeli gunfire killed Palestinian aid seekers near a site southwest of Khan Younis and another centre northwest of Rafah. An eyewitness said he headed to the Al-Tina area of Khan Younis before dawn with five of his relatives to try to get food, when Israeli soldiers started shooting. "My relatives and I were unable to get anything," Abdul Aziz Abed, 37, told AFP. "Every day I go there and all we get is bullets and exhaustion instead of food." The Israeli military said it was "looking into" the attacks. The more than two million people in Gaza are facing severe shortages of food and other essentials, and doctors have reported a spike in acute malnutrition. Deaths of people waiting for aid in huge crowds near aid distribution centres have become a regular occurrence. Earlier this week, the UN said it had recorded 875 people killed in Gaza while trying to get food, including 674 in the vicinity of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites, since the the US and Israel backed organisation began operating.
