Summary
Qusra residents said Israeli troops watched as settlers surrounded hilltop homes and sought to drive Palestinian families out.
Food and water were running low inside the besieged homes, where families stayed huddled indoors expecting the Israel Defense Forces to protect them.
The confrontation centered on a settler push to evict Palestinians from their homes in the West Bank village, turning the army’s inaction into the story’s immediate flashpoint.
