Following Palestinian reports of settlers attacking an American journalist and two Palestinians in the village of Abu Falah, east of Ramallah, the Binyamin Council claimed that "hundreds of anarchists and terrorists" fired fireworks and threw stones at Israelis. According to the council, the journalists stood behind the Israelis and documented the "deliberate provocation." Clashes broke out at the scene, and at their conclusion, the participants were dispersed by Border Police forces. During the clashes, several activists were reportedly injured.
