Dozens of masked Israeli settlers attacked homes surrounding the Palestinian village of Qusra in the occupied West Bank. This incident is reported to be the first major attack since a siege by settlers in the area earlier this month drew international outcry, according to RTÉ.

The assault occurred on Saturday and has been condemned by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as reported by Deutsche Welle. His criticism comes in the context of increasing tensions related to settler activities in the region.

In addition to targeting residential buildings, masked settlers also attacked a news team from NBC, resulting in injuries to a Palestinian woman and team members, as reported by Al Jazeera. These events have heightened concerns regarding the ongoing violence in the area.
