Israeli settlers injure Palestinian photojournalist in occupied West Bank

Israeli settlers wounded Palestinian photojournalist Alaa Badarneh during an attack south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reports.

Qusra Mayor Abdul Azim Wadi told Wafa that settlers assaulted olive harvesters and international solidarity activists between Qusra and Jalud. Stones the settlers threw struck Badarneh, who works for the EPA photo agency, leaving him with bruises, Wadi said.

On 16 October, about 80 masked settlers carrying clubs rushed Palestinians harvesting olives in Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah. Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine, 63, fell during the attack, and settlers beat her for more than 10 minutes.
