A 55-year-old Palestinian woman has been taken to hospital after being clubbed over the head by a masked Jewish settler as she was picking olives.
The unprovoked attack, which took place on Sunday morning in the Palestinian village of Turmus Ayya in the occupied West Bank, was captured on video by American journalist Jasper Nathaniel.
Mr Nathaniel said the settler knocked the woman unconscious with the first strike of his stick, before hitting her again as she lay on the ground. She has been named locally as Umm Saleh Abu Alia.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) told the BBC the confrontation was dispersed after its forces arrived, and that it "strongly condemns any form of violence" by settlers.
However, Mr Nathaniel said Israeli soldiers were on site prior to the attack and had "lured" him and others into an "ambush". He said soldiers "sped off" just before the settlers launched the assault. The BBC has put this specific allegation to the IDF.
