U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee condemned what he called a “vicious” and “cowardly” Israeli settler attack on Palestinian villagers that led to a Washington Post photographer suffering serious injuries despite having press credentials in clear view.

The attack unfolded on Friday as a group of Palestinians was collecting an olive harvest near Abu Falah. Heidi Levine, a veteran photographer for the Washington Post, was among the group attacked and suffered lacerations across her body, a broken rib, and four broken vertebrae.
