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.
