Police arrest man on terror suspicions, as part of probe of settler attack on Palestinian woman

Police have arrested a man suspected of beating a Palestinian woman unconscious during a violent attack by settler extremists on olive harvesters in the central West Bank. The assault left 52-year-old Afaf Abu 'Olia with a severe head injury, requiring a week-long hospitalization. The incident, which was captured on video, showed a masked man striking Abu 'Olia with a wooden club, sparking outrage and prompting swift action from authorities. The suspect's detention is seen as a rare move by Israeli authorities to address settler violence against Palestinians, with the investigation still ongoing.
