Washington Post Photojournalist Injured in Settler Attack
Israeli settlers attacked Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine in the occupied West Bank on Friday. She was covering the Palestinian olive harvest in Abu Falah.
- 80 settlers moved into the olive groves, Reuters reported.
- 10 minutes: Levine's estimate of how long the beating lasted.
- Video shows at least five settlers throwing her to the ground.
- 2 others were treated after beatings, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said.
Why it matters: The Washington Post said Levine wore visible markings identifying her as a journalist. The Foreign Press Association said Israeli authorities have ignored its repeated calls for action.
- Earlier this month, settlers beat an AFP photographer covering the same harvest.
- Residents reported settler attacks across the area as the harvest began.
