Israel arrests 10 after settler attacks on diplomats and US journalist
Israeli police detained 10 people in a rare raid after weekend settler attacks on European diplomats, a French mayor and US photojournalist Heidi Levine in the occupied West Bank. A senior Palestinian official warned of an 'explosion', and UN experts urged protection for olive farmers.
Why it matters
Attacks on foreign diplomats have drawn international pressure on Israel over settler violence.
Background
Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967, and settler violence against Palestinians has risen in recent years. The olive harvest is often a flashpoint.
