Settler violence against foreign journalists spreads across occupied West Bank

Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have attacked foreign journalists and a European diplomatic delegation within one week, wounding a Washington Post photographer.

• Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine suffered four fractured vertebrae, two broken ribs and four puncture wounds in the October 16 attack on Abu Falah.
