Israeli settlers have surrounded a Palestinian home in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra, leaving at least four people trapped inside.

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.
