Huckabee Condemns Photojournalist Attack as 'Terror'; Levine Recounts Assault

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee sharply condemned the assault on American photojournalist Heidi Levine in the West Bank, calling it an "act of terror carried out by cowards" and demanding an investigation and prosecution to the fullest extent of the law, Maariv and The Jerusalem Post reported.

In an interview with N12, Levine recounted that at least 20 masked assailants charged at her, beat her, and stole her equipment, adding that she feared she would not survive the incident. Levine also rejected statements from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, which had previously cast doubt on reported accounts of confrontations in the area.

Police have not yet announced any arrests in connection with the attack.
