Israeli Settlers Attack Palestinians, Journalists, and Diplomats During West Bank Olive Harvest
Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villages across the occupied West Bank during the annual olive harvest, setting fire to cars and trees, injuring several people, and disrupting farming activities. Among those attacked was American photojournalist Heidi Levine, who was hospitalized after being beaten while covering the harvest. European diplomats visiting the area were also assaulted, including a French mayor. Palestinian officials report multiple injuries and damage to olive trees, while Israeli authorities have condemned some attacks but face criticism for inadequate protection of Palestinians amid rising settler violence ahead of Israel's elections.
