Settlers surround Palestinian home in West Bank village after week of attacks
Israeli settlers besieged a Palestinian house in Qusra, where residents were trapped inside as violence in the occupied West Bank continued.
Israeli settlers surrounded a Palestinian home in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra on Saturday, trapping the people inside, according to reports from the area. The incident came amid a week of repeated settler attacks on Palestinians in the territory.
Al Jazeera said at least four people were inside the house during the siege. The broadcaster also said the pressure on Palestinian families in the village had been going on for three weeks.
The BBC separately reported on settler violence across the occupied West Bank over the past week, while Asharq Al-Awsat said dozens of settlers attacked another village described as a flashpoint. The reports point to a continuing pattern of unrest in the area.
Qusra is one of several West Bank communities that have faced repeated confrontations involving settlers and Palestinian residents in recent weeks.
