The US ambassador to Israel has condemned an attack by masked Israeli settlers that left Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine, 63, badly beaten and requiring surgery, calling it a 'despicable act of terror carried out by masked cowards.' The attack occurred last Friday as Palestinians harvested olives, with Levine, an award-winning journalist who lives in Israel, sustaining broken ribs, hand injuries and needing surgery.
