Israeli police arrest ten suspects after settlers attacked a Washington Post photographer and European diplomats in the West Bank
The dawn raids, codenamed 'Operation Olive Leaf', were carried out by police, Shin Bet and the army, and several vehicles were seized. Heidi Levine, 63, says settlers kicked her for more than ten minutes on Friday and stole her camera, passport and phone. US ambassador Mike Huckabee called it a 'despicable act of terror'. Levine says she was 'shocked and insulted' that Benjamin Netanyahu called the attack 'alleged'.
French mayor Bernard Baudoux, 78, says settlers attacked him with iron bars near Taybeh.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said the diplomats should have coordinated with the military.
Levine says her flak jacket and helmet probably saved her life.
