Israeli settlers have attacked a fourth home under construction in Qusra, targeting six Palestinian residents who were installing protective netting. The residents were attempting to safeguard their property from escalating settler violence, which has involved throwing stones and flammable materials at Palestinian homes. Israeli soldiers responded by deploying tear gas, injuring the homeowner.

All six Palestinians were subsequently detained by the Israeli forces but later released. The latest building is situated approximately 300 meters from three other Palestinian homes that have been besieged by settlers for over three weeks.
