Israeli settlers surround another Palestinian home in Qusra, attack journalists in Jalud

Israeli settlers, supported by their military, have surrounded a Palestinian home in Qusra, south of Nablus, trapping at least four people inside. The settlers also set fire to nearby land, while efforts are underway to allow ambulances to evacuate a wounded individual. Qusra has been the site of continuous settler violence for weeks, with several homes in the Ras al-Ain area under siege since August 9.

In a separate incident, settlers attacked two elderly Palestinian women in Silwad while they were picking figs, and also assaulted a Palestinian family and foreign journalists in Jalud, damaging the media crew's vehicle. These attacks are part of a surge in settler violence, with the Palestinian Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission reporting 2,256 such incidents against Palestinians and their property in July.
