Israeli settlers attack olive farmers and Washington Post journalist in West Bank

Settlers hurl rocks at Palestinians and beat photographer Heidi Levine as part of yearly attacks to disrupt harvest

Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinians across the occupied West Bank in a coordinated movement to disrupt the annual olive harvest, burning cars and trees and injuring Palestinians and a Washington Post photographer.

Masked settlers wielding clubs and other weapons attacked people attempting to harvest their olives in towns across the West Bank on Friday. At least six people were injured in the town of Abu Falah near Ramallah, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said.
