West Bank authorities free settlers who attacked diplomats
The occupation courts have decided to release the majority of the settlers who were detained in connection with attacks and assaults in the West Bank. These individuals were placed under house arrest after being held for a period of time on charges of involvement in acts of violence targeting a international delegation, including attacks against American photographer Heidi Levine and a French mayor during a diplomatic visit. These assaults are believed to be part of an escalation coinciding with increased settler attacks against Palestinians and their property, especially during the olive harvest season. The arrests occurred amid criticism of media and international pressure, from human rights organizations and lawyers. Reports confirm that these releases are mostly formalities, while daily violence against Palestinians continues with the protection of occupation forces.
