RE: https://mastox.eu/@the_andrey_x/117450129215993485 Israeli settlers burn olive trees, injure [WaPo] journalist in West Bank attack | Reuters (2026-10-16) https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-settlers-burn-olive-trees-injure-journalist-west-bank-attack-2026-10-16/ ——— >> The attack continued after the military's arrival, with Israeli soldiers firing ​tear gas in the direction of the Palestinians who had dodged the jeeps... a ​Reuters photographer saw at least one armed settler fire a gun. >> Palestinian medics said two people were injured and taken to hospitals in the area of Ramallah. One of them was Heidi Levine, a photojournalist with the #WashingtonPost. Video of the attack showed Levine lying on her side ​on a dirt path with her hands over her face as at least three settlers surrounded her. >> Speaking from a hospital bed later, Levine, who is ​in stable condition, said: "I was attacked, pushed to the ground. Luckily I had my flak jacket and helmet, otherwise I probably wouldn't even be here, because they just kept ‌kicking me ⁠and kicking me.".. #WestBank #SettlerViolence #palestine @palestine@fedibird.com

Others involved in the olive harvest were similarly beaten and at least one was shot. >> Israeli troops arrived at the scene during the attack, but reportedly did effectively nothing to stop the settlers, firing tear gas at the Palestinians and then standing by the settlers as the beatings continued… #palestine @palestine@fedibird.com
