At least six people were injured when a group of masked Israeli settlers descended on an olive grove in Abu Falah, in the occupied West Bank, on Friday, in a coordinated movement across the area to disrupt the annual olive harvest by burning cars and trees. Washington Post journalist Heidi Levine was injured by settlers as she was covering the harvest. There has been a surge of settler violence against Palestinians over the past month, with at least 170 attacks since 27 September, around the start of the annual olive harvest, according to Yesh Din, an Israeli rights group.
