On 16 October 2026, Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was beaten by Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank near Abu Fala while covering Palestinian farmers attempting to harvest olives. She suffered four cracked vertebrae, a broken rib and needed surgery on her left hand. Her son, Michael Milner, says her helmet and flak jacket saved her life, and that witnesses saw settlers using batons with nails. He criticizes the Israeli prime minister's office for saying the facts remain unclear and under investigation. Israeli authorities said 10 people were arrested in the West Bank in separate incidents under Operation Olive Leaf.
