Netanyahu Condemns Israeli Settler Violence in West Bank Village of Qusra
Dozens of Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian village of Qusra in the occupied West Bank on August 29, 2026, throwing stones and barricading themselves inside a house with Palestinians present. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the violence as criminal acts harming Israel's image and interfering with military operations. Israeli forces intervened, removing settlers and confiscating vehicles, while some Palestinians reported injuries and alleged mistreatment by the military. The incident follows weeks of tension and previous settler actions restricting Palestinian access in the area.
