Israel: Arrests made after settlers attack journalists and diplomats

Israeli forces reportedly also confiscated vehicles during the raid in several locations in the occupied West Bank. They also seized items that were said to link the suspects to the attacks.

On Friday, US photographer Heidi Levine from the Washington Post was injured in a suspected settler attack. Dozens of masked Israeli settlers reportedly attacked Palestinians harvesting olives. Levine, who can be seen in footage of the incident wearing a protective vest with the words "PRESS" written on it, documented the violence. According to the Washington Post, settlers eventually pushed her to the ground and kicked her. There was also sharp criticism of the violence from the USA.

There are currently almost daily reports of attacks on Palestinians or their property. According to the human rights organization Yesh Din, there have been at least 170 attacks by settlers on Palestinians since September 27. Israel's military and police are repeatedly accused of not taking decisive action against it. Only a few incidents result in convictions.
