Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was assaulted on Friday during clashes in the village of Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah. Levine, wearing a press vest and helmet, was reportedly kicked approximately 50 times by individuals described as Jewish rioters. She stated that without her protective gear, she might not have survived the sustained assault. "They kept kicking me again and again," Levine recounted, adding that her cameras and bag were taken during the attack. The Mateh Binyamin Regional Council offered a different account, claiming the Palestinian Authority instigated the confrontations by bringing "hundreds of anarchists and terrorists" to clash with Israelis near Abu Falah under the guise of olive harvesting. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have not yet commented on the incident.
