According to local sources, armed settlers got out of a vehicle and detained activist Rabie Abu Naim, and journalists Mohamed Turkman, Karim Khmaisah, and Ahmed al-Khatib while they were documenting settler violations and the demolition of tents in al-Mughayyir village in the northeast of Ramallah.
The activist and journalists said the settlers prevented them from leaving the area in their car and tried to snatch its key and a cellphone they used to record the recent Israeli violations that had been committed in al-Mughayyir village.
The settlers also threatened to kill them if they saw them again in the area.
