Late last week, CNN’s Jeremy Diamond reported that he and his crew were detained and assaulted by members of the Israeli military while reporting from the West Bank. (The link above includes video of the incident.)

Over the weekend, Diamond wrote that CNN was covering a story about Israeli settlers brutally attacking several Palestinians and establishing a new illegal outpost in the village of Tayasir. While there, Diamond reported, Israeli soldiers pointed guns at the CNN team and ordered them to sit.
