An Agence France-Presse photojournalist was beaten by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, according to Le Monde.
Jaafar Ashtiyeh, a 58-year-old Palestinian photographer, sustained injuries to his head and torso during the assault. He was taken to hospital by ambulance, the international news agency confirmed.
Phil Chetwynd, AFP's global news director, condemned the incident as "a serious" and "unacceptable attack" following the episode in the occupied territory.
The incident is set against a backdrop of recurring tensions between Israeli settlers and Palestinian journalists and civilians in the occupied West Bank, where press freedom organisations have regularly reported attacks on media professionals.
The exact circumstances of the assault and the identities of the attackers had not been confirmed at the time of publication, and no official response from Israeli authorities had been reported.
