General News Settlers beat Palestinians, US journalist in West Bank attacks: 'They kept kicking me and kicking me'
Some 80 settlers, many of them masked and some of them carrying gas canisters, descended from a hill to the terraced olive grove where villagers from Abu Falah had gathered to pick ripe fruit, witnesses said.
Some of them used slings to launch rocks toward Palestinian villagers, who descended toward the bottom of the hill before they began to throw rocks back at the settlers, witnesses said.
Palestinian media outlets reported that the Palestinian Red Crescent treated a 63-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man who sustained injuries from beatings by settlers.
The injured woman was Heidi Levine, a photojournalist who works for The Washington Post and has reported on conflicts around the world.
