Israeli settler confronts Palestinian American at his besieged West Bank home
Settlers began besieging the homes in Qusra more than a week ago, part of what rights groups say is a wider effort by settlers to seize more land from Palestinians.
QUSRA, WEST BANK - Palestinian American Loui Ridi took to the streets of his village in the Israeli-occupied West Bank with an American flag flying high over his residence. The objective was to discourage militant settlers who had surrounded his property for over a week. Ridi made the trip to Qusra on Monday evening, anxious about the potential loss of his home to Jewish settlers encroaching upon three Palestinian homes.
On Tuesday morning, as Ridi strolled among his cherry and fig trees, a settler emerged from the hillside and approached him. The confrontation was captured by Reuters, the sole media presence at the scene.
