Where it stands
The October 16 attack near Abu Falah injured Palestinian olive harvesters and photographer Heidi Levine and damaged olive trees; Levine later underwent surgery and was still receiving hospital treatment on October 18. By October 19, police had announced ten detentions in an investigation covering attacks on foreigners and illegal-outpost construction, but reports do not establish that the detainees were involved in this attack; its investigation and accountability remain unresolved.

- 🇺🇸 “Lifting sanctions doesn’t mean he likes what he is seeing now.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Saturday the US is "very disturbed" by video of Israeli settlers beating Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine, but offered no consequences beyond asking Israel to act. On Jan. 20, 2025, his first day back in office, President Trump revoked Biden’s executive order authorizing sanctions against Israeli settlers and groups involved in violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Secretary of State Rubio, when asked about the move today, didn’t express regret, and said that the revocations against violent Israeli settlers didn’t mean he wanted to see violence in the West Bank. Last month, Rubio said "obviously" the US would not join the UK in restricting trade with settlements.The Israeli groups that were removed from sanctions include the following, according to Treasury’s removal list: ➤ Hilltop Youth: Violent settler movement responsible fo...
- Read this figure again and again: an average of 10.9 incidents of settler and soldier violence every day. Today, we are publishing data that illustrate the scale of violence directly linked to the olive harvest: * 21 incidents of violence and physical assaults against olive harvesters * 24 incidents in which settlers or soldiers prevented olive harvesting * 75 incidents of crop theft * 22 incidents of damage to and destruction of olive trees * At least 28 incidents in which soldiers were documented as present In total: 109 incidents of settler and soldier violence across 75 Palestinian communities throughout the West Bank in just 10 days. More than 100 cases of violence against Palestinians documented by Yesh Din before the olive harvest season had even officially begun demonstrate that settler and military violence is not random. Rather, it is part of an Israeli policy with a clear objective: to prevent Palestinians from harvesting their olives, inflict economic harm on Palestinian...
- PM Netanyahu suggests American journalist is lying about being assaulted and kicked by Israeli settlers. He said “footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual.” “The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence.” “We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.” https://t.co/NMSpYswylf
- Surprising nobody, Netanyahu statement on the beating of a Washington Post journalist:
- We appreciate the support we’ve gotten today for our photographer, Heidi Levine, after the brutal and unwarranted attack on her. We reiterate the call for action from the government. Press freedoms are a cornerstone for democracies.
- Email from executive editor Matt Murray to WaPo staff this morning responding to the incident
- To be clear: Some facts are neither in dispute nor unclear. Our photographer was clearly marked as Press. She was clearly beaten. These are not partisan or risible statements, but indisputable. We urge a thorough investigation and accountability.
- X User @murraymatt
- . @washingtonpost editor Matt Murray openly disputes statements by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's office about attacks by settlers on Washington Post journalist Heidi Levine
- Infuriating. Heidi Levine is one of the bravest and hardest working journalists I’ve ever worked with:
- And also, listen to the full experience of the washington post journalist, and watch how her description matches up precisely with what the video captured.
- Stay out of Israel
- A Morning of Severe Violence Across the West Bank During the Olive Harvest. Yesh Din new data: 486 incidents of settler and soldier violence over 18 days, September 27- October 14, including 234 directly related to the olive harvest. Soldiers were documented as present in at least 62 incidents (26.5% of all incidents of violence directly related to the olive harvest). Video from the village of Turmusaya this morning shows one of the injured Palestinian farmers, a vehicle set on fire, and soldiers at the scene firing crowd-control weapons at Palestinian farmers. Footage credit: Turmusaya Municipality / Yesh Din
- Over the past two weeks (September 27 - October 10), Yesh Din collected documentation and reports of 377 incidents of settler and soldier violence against Palestinians. An average of approximately 27 incidents of violence per day, occurring in 162 Palestinian communities across the West Bank. Of these incidents, 174 were directly related to the olive harvest, and soldiers were present in 25% of them. The lack of law enforcement against violent settlers and soldiers who attack Palestinian olive harvesters, damage olive trees, and steal the harvest indicates that the obstruction of the olive harvest is part of a broader, systematic Israeli policy aimed at inflicting economic and cultural harm on Palestinians and displacing them from their land.
- This afternoon, settlers attacked farmers and homes in the village of #Turmusaya damaging four homes and injuring two residents by throwing stones. https://twitter.com/Yesh_Din/status/1878200351993606617/photo/1

- The Prime Minister’s Office: The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation. Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable. But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual. The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence. We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria. The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the h...
- NETANYAHU’S “DELINQUENT YOUTH” JUST BEAT A WASHINGTON POST JOURNALIST Remember Netanyahu’s performance at the UN General Assembly? He dismissed the perpetrators of settler violence as “a handful of delinquent youths,” reportedly numbering around 150. Today, in Abu Falah, those supposedly delinquent youths attacked Palestinian olive harvesters and brutally beat Heidi Levine, a veteran photojournalist working for The Washington Post. They kicked her while she was down and stole her equipment. She was hospitalized. So much for Netanyahu’s fairy tale. These are not merely a few undisciplined teenagers getting into trouble. This is a system of settler violence operating in occupied Palestinian territory, where Palestinian farmers are attacked, olive trees are burned, land is seized, and entire communities are driven from their homes. And the ultimate obscenity? The violence unfolds in the presence of Israeli occupation forces, while Palestinians and journalists bear the con...
- IDF: VIOLENT CONFRONTATION NEAR KHIRBET ABU FALAH DISPERSED, JOURNALIST INJURED IDF and Border Police forces were dispatched Friday to the area near Khirbet Abu Falah following reports of a violent confrontation. According to the IDF, foreign media personnel were present and a female journalist was injured during the incident. The circumstances surrounding her injury are being examined. At a separate location, IDF soldiers fired warning shots before opening fire toward a suspect who allegedly ran at them carrying a sharp object and posed an immediate threat. The confrontation was dispersed. Police and forensic investigators from the Judea and Samaria District are expected to enter the area under IDF protection to collect evidence and testimony. The IDF condemned the violence, calling attacks on innocent civilians “grave and unacceptable,” and said it will work with relevant authorities to eradicate the phenomenon.
- Earlier today, IDF and Israel Border Police forces were dispatched to an area adjacent to Khirbet Abu Falah, following a report of a violent confrontation. Foreign media personnel were present at the scene and a female journalist was injured during the confrontation. All details of the incident will be examined. Upon arriving to the scene, the forces acted to disperse the confrontation using riot dispersal means. At another location where the confrontation took place, IDF soldiers initially fired warning shots into the air and then fired toward a suspect who ran toward them, carrying a sharp object and posed a threat to them. The confrontation was dispersed. Israeli Police forces and forensic investigators from the Judea and Samaria District will enter the area with IDF security to collect findings and evidence, as well as take testimonies. Violence against innocent civilians is a grave and intolerable phenomenon that requires a coordinated, multi-agency response. The IDF will work ...
- 📷 Journalist injured near Khirbet Abu Falah: In a separate incident the previous day, IDF and Border Police forces responded to a violent confrontation near Khirbet Abu Falah, where foreign media personnel were present and a female journalist was injured. The IDF said arriving forces used riot-dispersal measures. At another location during the confrontation, soldiers fired warning shots into the air and then toward a suspect who, according to the military, ran toward them carrying a sharp object and posed a threat. The confrontation was dispersed. Police and forensic investigators were to enter under IDF protection to collect evidence and testimony. The military said all circumstances would be examined. The IDF condemned violence against innocent civilians as grave and unacceptable, saying attempts to provoke friction between populations undermine security. It pledged a coordinated response with the relevant authorities. 🌐 https://t.co/tactiIBqoI
- You can tell Jewish Israelis were the aggressors. If Palestinians did anything like this, airstrikes would already be happening. Because the attackers are Jewish, a "multi-agency response" is needed.
- CAN YOU STOP LYING FOR A SINGLE FUCKING SECOND?? The violence of your “juvenile delinquents” is sickening to us all, and your occupation forces protect these domestic terrorists.
