Translated by Qiyas from سرمد — Original source
Israeli police said on Monday that they had arrested 10 suspects as part of an investigation into violence in the occupied West Bank over the weekend, which included two separate attacks on an American photojournalist working for The Washington Post and on European diplomats.
The arrests came after the United States called for strict action against settler violence and for the imprisonment of those responsible for the attack on The Washington Post photographer. France, Belgium, and Poland, whose diplomats were attacked, also urged Israel to take action.
Police did not disclose the identities of the detainees or the charges against them, noting that investigations were ongoing. An Israeli radio station reported that the suspects are Israeli citizens and that the Shin Bet security agency is involved in the probe.
Video footage showed masked Israeli settlers attacking Heidi Levine, a photojournalist for The Washington Post, on Friday as she covered the Palestinian olive harvest. In a separate incident on Saturday, European diplomats and a French mayor were attacked by settlers.
