AP Wins Pulitzer for Dramatic Photo

Oded Balilty was covering a violent clash in the West Bank last year when he came across a haunting image: Israeli officers in riot gear pushing against a lone Jewish settler who resisted their charge with all her might.

The photo won The Associated Press photographer the Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography on Monday.
The image stemmed from a clash in the West Bank settlement of Amona, east of the Palestinian town of Ramallah, in February 2006.
