  "summary": "Nine suspects in connection with militant settler attacks on a US journalist and European diplomats have been released from custody and placed under house arrest in Israel, according to a law firm representing settlers. The attacks, which involved masked settlers assaulting Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine and French, Belgian, and Polish diplomats, led to a call for action from the US, Israel's closest ally, and France, Belgium, and Poland. One suspect remains in custody, and the investigation continues. Israeli rights groups have noted that such arrests are rare, with many militant settler attacks going unpunished. The recent wave of violence has seen over 125 physical attacks on Palestinian olive harvesters in the past three weeks alone.",
