Local Editor

"Israeli" settlers threw stones at the cars of a US diplomatic delegation which came to inspect vandalism to Palestinian-owned trees in the occupied West Bank Friday.

The US embassy in Tel Aviv and consulate in Occupied al-Quds had no immediate comment on the incident outside "Adei Ad" settlement, which caused no casualties.
An "Israeli" police spokeswoman said the delegation arrived at "Adei Ad" in US diplomatic cars without first having coordinated the visit with "Israeli" authorities.

She said the purpose of the trip was to inspect nearby trees that had been uprooted in what their Palestinian owners clarified was vandalism by Zionist settlers.

"Rocks were thrown at them from Adei Ad. We are investigating. Arrests have yet to be made," the spokeswoman said. She said she did not know of any damage to the vehicles and had no further information on the delegates' identities.

According to settlers two armed diplomatic guards briefly emerged from the cars.
"One had a pistol, the other an M-16, and they pointed them at the settlers," on Zionist settler mentioned.
Asked about this account, the "Israeli" police spokeswoman said: "We have no indication that anyone in the US delegation brandished weapons."
