Israeli police said Monday they had arrested 10 suspects in connection with weekend settler violence in the occupied West Bank, including attacks on a US photojournalist and, near Taybeh, a European diplomatic delegation. Police said the investigation was continuing, and Israeli media reported that the Shin Bet domestic security service was involved.
Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine was assaulted Friday while covering Palestinian olive harvesting. The newspaper said masked settlers knocked her down, kicked her and took her cameras and phone. She suffered broken vertebrae and was hospitalized in Ramallah.
On Saturday, masked settlers attacked a convoy carrying French, Belgian and Polish representatives who had joined Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. Bernard Baudoux, the 78-year-old mayor of Aulnoye-Aymeries in France, said assailants kicked him and struck him with iron bars. He did not require hospital treatment. The Irish Times reported that Palestinians were also injured and a Belgian diplomatic vehicle was damaged.
The United States, France, Belgium, Poland and the European Union condemned the violence and called for accountability. Israel’s Foreign Ministry also condemned the attack on the diplomats. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the delegation had entered a sensitive area without coordinating with the Israeli military and urged caution before conclusions were drawn.
Israeli rights group Yesh Din has recorded more than 170 settler attacks since the olive harvest began on September 27.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Clarify that Taybeh was the location of the attack on the European delegation, not necessarily the separate attack on the journalist. - "including attacks on a US photojournalist and a European diplomatic delegation near Taybeh": This construction places both attacks near Taybeh, but the sources identify Taybeh only as the location of the attack on the European delegation.
