A group of Israeli settlers have attacked vehicles carrying European diplomats in the West Bank, according to Israeli army radio.
Military correspondent Doron Kadosh wrote on X on Saturday that the settlers attacked the vehicles of diplomats from France, Belgium and Poland.
He said that, according to eyewitnesses, seven masked men surrounded a diplomatic vehicle with their off-road vehicles before demanding identification and smashing a window.
Video footage shows a diplomat lying on the ground.
The incident took place during the olive harvest near the village of Taybeh.
Israeli police said on Saturday they had opened an investigation into an alleged assault on diplomats in the occupied West Bank.
Their statement cited footage circulating online that appears to show several diplomats being attacked in the village of Taybeh.
In a separate statement, Israel's military said the visit had not been co-ordinated with it and no soldiers were at the scene.
The account follows another violent incident on Friday during which Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers gathering olives near the village of Abu Falah in the West Bank.
Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine was injured in the attack despite wearing a protective vest with "PRESS" clearly visible on the front and back.
The US photographer was knocked to the ground and repeatedly kicked, and her phone and camera were taken, the newspaper said.
Levine was treated at hospitals in Ramallah and Israel for cuts across her body, a broken rib and four broken vertebrae, the Washington Post reported.
It said Levine needed surgery on her hand after a finger was ripped open, exposing bone.
The newspaper said dozens of masked Israeli settlers had attacked the villagers, throwing stones and setting olive groves on fire.
In a statement on X, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the circumstances of the confrontation in which Levine was "allegedly assaulted" were unclear and would be investigated.
