Israeli Settlers Attack Palestinian Olive Harvesters, Injuring Journalist in West Bank
Dozens of masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in Abu Falah, West Bank, burning trees and throwing stones during the annual harvest. At least two people, including Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine, were injured. Palestinian villagers defended themselves by throwing stones, while Israeli soldiers fired tear gas nearby. The attack is part of a reported increase in settler violence during the olive harvest, with Israeli group Yesh Din documenting over 170 such incidents since late September. Witnesses say settlers aim to displace Palestinians from their homes.
