Israeli settlers have surrounded a Palestinian home in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra, leaving at least four people trapped inside. The incident has sparked clashes between settlers and Israeli forces, with the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemning the actions as part of a systematic campaign to eradicate the Palestinian presence in the area.

Palestinian authorities reported that several Palestinians, including a woman, suffered injuries during the home invasion, while Israeli forces said they removed the settlers from the house and seized their vehicles. The village has been besieged for several weeks, with Israeli authorities describing the situation as a suffocating military and economic blockade.
