increase in attacks by settlers in the West Bank; The Washington Post photographer was injured

The attacks of the Zionist settlers on the Palestinian villages in the West Bank resulted in the wounding of the photographer of the American newspaper Washington Post.

According to Ambassador Arjan, the American newspaper Washington Post wrote in a report: "Heidi Levin", a photojournalist of this newspaper, was injured during the attack by Israeli settlers on the village of Abu Falah in the east of Ramallah on the West Bank of the Jordan River, and suffered a broken bone as a result of this attack.

According to this report, Levin was attacked by a group of masked settlers while covering the annual olive harvest in the village of Abu Falah in the east of Ramallah. The photojournalist was wearing a vest with the logo "Press" clearly visible on the front and back, but the attackers threw him to the ground, kicked him repeatedly and took his cameras and mobile phone.

The Washington Post wrote: Levin was taken to a hospital in Ramallah for treatment. In an interview with reporters, he said that the attackers kicked him many times and that his protective helmet and vest probably prevented more serious injuries.

According to this report, witnesses stated that dozens of masked settlers came down from a hill near the village, set fire to the olive trees and threw stones at the Palestinians who were harvesting. During this attack, the journalists present at the place were also forced to leave the place.

According to the Washington Post, Zionist soldiers were present at the site, but did not stop the settlers and fired tear gas at the Palestinians.

This incident occurred while the settlers' attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank have increased at the same time as the olive harvest season. Reuters, quoting the settlement monitoring group Yesh Din, reported that since September 27 (October 5), at least 170 attacks by settlers have been recorded in the West Bank.
