Israel sends troops to Palestinian village after four days of siege by radical settlers on families
The army evacuates and takes over six Palestinian houses at the start of an operation “to protect residents and maintain security”
After four days of siege of three Palestinian houses by a dozen Jewish settlers, Israel has launched on Thursday —after US intervention— a military operation to “to protect residents and maintain security” in the West Bank village of Qusra, the army reported. However, the troops have not yet expelled the Israeli radicals (who have been strolling next to the homes since Sunday), but have evacuated and taken six Palestinian houses, according to the mayor, Abed Al Athem Wadi.
These are preparations for a campaign to put an end to a siege that has been attracting international attention as the days go by.
