Israeli settlers attack homes in West Bank villages

Dozens of masked Israeli settler militants attacked a Palestinian home in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra on Saturday, trapping several residents inside and marking a significant escalation in a weeks-long siege that has drawn international condemnation. The assault occurred on August 29, just hundreds of yards from three homes that have been under a similar blockade since early August. Witnesses reported that settlers surrounded a house under construction, throwing stones at the building where seven Palestinians were trapped.
