Israeli Settlers Stone AFP Photographer's Car in West Bank

Israeli settlers in the West Bank stoned the car of a Palestinian photographer working for Agence France Presse, slightly injuring him, as he was on his way to cover a story Friday.

The photographer said several of around 100 settlers who were gathered at the side of the road threw stones at his car, damaging the vehicle and lightly injuring him in the face and hands.

Israeli soldiers on the scene did not intervene, he added.

He and other journalists in a separate vehicle were on their way to cover Palestinian demonstrations in the nearby Jalazoun refugee camp, north of the West Bank administrative center of Ramallah.
