American photojournalist Heidi Levine attacked by Israeli settlers in West Bank
“These repeated assaults are taking place in an environment where perpetrators have little reason to fear consequences. Israel’s failure to ensure accountability is emboldening those who attack journalists, while the international community’s continued silence sends a dangerous message that these violations can continue unchecked," said Sara Qudah, CPJ regional director.
