Activist Adele Shoko said armed Israeli settlers assaulted her, US journalist Jasper Nathaniel and Israeli-Russian activist Andrey X in Umm al-Khair. Al Jazeera reported that footage showed men beating Nathaniel and Andrey X and Israeli authorities leading Nathaniel away. Shoko said Andrey X lost consciousness repeatedly and was detained without hospital treatment; those medical and detention details were her account.
Why it matters
The reported detention of injured foreign nationals creates an immediate decision point for Israeli authorities over medical access and release.
