Dozens of masked Israeli settlers attacked homes near the occupied West Bank village of Qusra on August 29, surrounding a Palestinian home and trapping seven people inside as stones were thrown, witnesses told Reuters. The residents said Israeli forces later arrived and detained and allegedly beat them, while the military said troops came to remove “rioters” and protect those inside. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the violence, calling those involved a “handful of rioters.” The attack comes amid rising settler violence in the West Bank.
