For over a week, the Palestinian village of Qusra, near Nablus, has been under siege by Israeli settlers. Residents continue to fear new violence as tensions escalate in the region.

Yesterday, a municipal team was attacked while attempting to restore electricity to a Palestinian family's home, which had been cut off due to violence earlier in the week.

Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Jared Kushner arrived in Jerusalem for meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, focusing on the peace plan for Gaza.
