Israeli settlers stormed a Palestinian home in the village of Qusra on Saturday, trapping the owner and others inside as tensions in the occupied West Bank continue to climb. This incident marks the latest in a series of aggressive encounters that have left residents feeling increasingly vulnerable in their own neighborhoods.
According to CNN, the settlers entered Qusra early Saturday afternoon and began hurling stones at the home of Louay Adli. Adli recounted that he immediately contacted Israeli police as the crowd grew to an estimated 60 or 70 settlers. “They surrounded us from all sides and threw stones at all of us,” he said. “This went on for a whole hour until the army came from in front of the house, while the settlers were from behind.”
