Levine described being attacked by Israeli settlers armed with bottles and slingshots while covering the Palestinian olive harvest in the occupied West Bank.

“I was on the ground and they were kicking me and I was trying to hold onto my camera and my bag. I had my helmet and flak jacket on which protected me. They made me stand up and they kicked me again, and this went on for at least 10 minutes.”
