LONDON: A Sky News reporting team was confronted by Israeli troops during a recent assignment in the West Bank, the network disclosed on Friday.
Adam Parsons, Sky News Middle East correspondent, recounted that the Israeli military approached as his crew was filming a segment focused on the olive harvest season in Palestine.
“As we film, an Israeli military vehicle comes along a track and stops in a cloud of dust,” he wrote in the reportage titled “Defiance in the West Bank — despite encroaching threat from ‘unwanted neighbours.’”
Parsons continued: “The soldiers emerge and tell us we have to leave for our own protection, claiming that this olive grove is, in fact, a closed military zone.”
The correspondent, who was visiting the site of a recent attack by Israeli settlers on a Palestinian woman, said the military did not clarify what threat necessitated their departure.
