Violence by settlers in the West Bank. Suspects of attacks on photojournalist and mayor under house arrest

Ten suspects have been placed under house arrest following attacks on American photojournalist Heidi Levine and French mayor Bernard Baudoux in the West Bank. The violence has escalated recently, coinciding with the olive harvest season. The Israeli organization Honenou confirmed the detentions, stating they were influenced by media pressure. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office defended the settlers amid criticism from the opposition regarding his tolerance of 'Jewish terrorism'. U.S. officials expressed concern over the attacks, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging Israel to take firm action. Another incident involved U.S. congressional candidate Brad Lander, who was detained while harvesting olives, highlighting the ongoing tensions in the region.
