A CNN journalist was wrestled into a chokehold by Israeli soldiers as they detained an entire news crew in the West Bank. The Israeli Military told CNN that the incident would be 'thoroughly reviewed.' His family told CNN that settlers stormed in and beat Daraghmah, with his son Sami Daraghmeh saying that his father had been asleep. During the two hours that the CNN news crew were detained by the Israeli soldiers, the team reportedly heard the soldiers opinions on the controversial tactic. An Israeli soldier, identified as Meir, acknowledged that the outpost he was protecting was illegal under Israeli law.
