"Israeli settlers attack Palestinians and Washington Post photographer in West Bank" "Also caught up in the attack was Heidi Levine, a veteran photographer for The Washington Post. Levine, wearing a protective vest clearly marked “PRESS” on front and back, was knocked to the ground, kicked repeatedly and stripped of her cameras and phone." Heidi is a great photographer and her work is a record of abuses like this. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/10/16/palestinians-washington-post-photographer-attacked-west-bank/

Heidi Levine recounts how Palestinian youths helped save her in settler attack "The Washington Post photojournalist who was attacked and seriously injured by Israeli settlers in the West Bank on Friday has described how she was saved with the help of local Palestinians. Heidi Levine sustained four fractured vertebrae, two broken ribs and four puncture wounds when she was knocked to the ground and repeatedly beaten by a crowd of masked settlers while she and other journalists were covering the olive harvest in the Palestinian village of Abu Falah, north of Ramallah. It is unclear whether the puncture wounds were caused by knives or other weapons. Levine said a witness to her attack had seen nails sticking out of some of the wooden clubs wielded by her attackers." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/21/heidi-levine-palestinians-israeli-settler-attack-west-bank #BoycottIsrael #CrimesAgainstHumanity #News #HumanRights #Activism #PressFreedom #Press #FreePalestine #WorldNews #Gaza #Palestine
