Levine was documenting violence against Palestinians in the area around the villages of Turmus Ayya and Khirbet Abu Falah. According to reports, more than 50 masked settlers armed with sticks arrived at the scene. They threw stones at Palestinians and set olive trees on fire during the attack. Le Figaro ↗
The photographer stated that she was kicked and beaten with sticks for approximately ten minutes. She suffered a broken rib. At least two people were injured in the attack. The incident occurred during the annual olive harvest, which has repeatedly become a target of settler attacks in the West Bank. La Repubblica ↗
Reports also speak of more than 230 attacks related to the olive harvest since September. According to available data, the violence has affected Palestinian farmers in several parts of the occupied territory. The attack near Ramallah thus fits into the broader context of disputes and violence accompanying this year's harvest. Independent ↗
