Corroborated · Hebron, Palestine ·
Multiple outlets report that Israeli settlers assaulted foreign journalists and activists in Umm al-Khair, in the Masafer Yatta area south of Hebron in the West Bank, and took equipment or a mobile phone. Al Jazeera, citing videos circulating on social media, names the victims as US journalist Jasper Nathaniel, Russian activist Adele Shoko and activist Andrey X, and says Shoko reported being beaten. Accounts differ on the aftermath: Al Jazeera says Nathaniel was pepper-sprayed and taken by Israeli forces while Andrey X was detained by police, and another report says one journalist was taken to a police station. No Israeli authority statement appears among the claims.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
