Israeli Settlers Attack Palestinians and a Washington Post Journalist in the West Bank

Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinians and a journalist from the American newspaper The Washington Post in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, The New York Times reports. The settlers targeted Palestinians during the olive harvest.

The source describes the attacks as the latest surge of violence in the area. For Palestinians, the olive harvest is both a cultural touchstone and an economic lifeline, so attacks during this period affect both their daily lives and their income.

The short source excerpt gives no further details on the number of injured, the locations of the attacks or the condition of the journalist, so those circumstances are not known at this time.
