Israeli Settlers Attack West Bank Village of Qusra

Dozens of masked Israeli settler militants attacked Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra on Saturday, trapping 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.
