Israel says 'Israeli rioters' removed from Qusra

Israel's military and border police forces responded to clashes involving Israeli rioters in the Palestinian village of Qusra, where settlers had besieged a Palestinian home. According to a joint statement, dozens of Israeli settlers entered and barricaded themselves inside the home, leading to injuries for several Palestinians, including a woman.

The settlers were reported to have thrown stones at Palestinians. Israeli security forces removed the settlers from the house, seized their vehicles, and stated they would remain in the area to prevent further clashes and restore order. However, Qusra Mayor Abdul Azim Wadi told Al Jazeera that Israeli forces had attempted to arrest Palestinians who remained trapped inside the besieged home.
