Israeli Settlers Besiege Palestinian Homes in West Bank; US Ambassador Condemns Actions
In the West Bank village of Qusra, Israeli settlers besieged three Palestinian homes, including one owned by a Palestinian American family, blocking access to food, water, and electricity for several days. The Israeli military intervened by dismantling illegal outposts, deploying troops to protect residents, and evacuating some family members. The U.S. ambassador to Israel condemned the settlers' actions as a "horrific act of terror" and called for their removal. The incident highlights ongoing tensions and increased settler violence in the occupied West Bank.
