Photographer from WP was detained for over 10 minutes despite press badge
American journalist Heidi Levine of The Washington Post was assaulted by masked settlers while covering an attack on olive harvesters in Abu Falah village east of Ramallah. She was injured with fractures and had to be hospitalized. The attack, involving around 80 settlers, included setting olive trees on fire, throwing stones at Palestinians, and shooting guns. It coincided with the arrival of Israeli forces, who used tear gas, and footage showed one settler firing a weapon. The newspaper and journalistic organizations condemned the assault, calling for an investigation and accountability. This incident occurs amid a rise in settler attacks on Palestinian farmers and media workers during the olive harvest season.
