What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on masked Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians during the West Bank olive harvest, and several also mention fires, stone-throwing or vehicles being set alight. BBC News, Reuters, AP, France 24, The Guardian US and NPR foreground the harvest attack itself, while Al Jazeera uniquely uses the language of a “pogrom” and highlights the injury to Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine; Democracy Now! is the outlier, leading instead with a separate IDF raid on Palestinian NGOs.
