A diplomat present at the assault described masked men armed with crowbars who kicked a local mayor, as the IDF, police, and senior officials issued condemnations.
Israel's president, foreign minister, the IDF, and police condemned the attack on European diplomats in the Binyamin area by masked assailants, as reported by ynet and CTV News. These official condemnations followed statements from the Prime Minister's Office casting doubt on the reported accounts of the incident.
According to testimony from a diplomat at the scene, the attackers descended from nearby hills armed with crowbars, surrounded the delegation's vehicles, kicked the local mayor, and shouted taunts. The diplomat emphasized that the delegation comprised representatives from Catholic nations supporting Christian communities in the West Bank.
The police investigation remains ongoing, and the identities of the suspects have not yet been released.
