  "summary": "Dozens of masked Israeli settlers gathered near Qusra in the West Bank, a regional flashpoint, and attacked Palestinians and foreign journalists. According to the Jerusalem Post, eight people were injured in stone-throwing clashes. The settlers also surrounded a Palestinian home in Qusra, with at least four people trapped inside, and set fire to nearby land, as reported by Middle East Eye.\n\nThe Israeli military was present at the scene, but did not detain or identify the masked settlers, despite an order making it a criminal offense to cover one's face in the West Bank, Haaretz reported. The settlers also attacked two elderly Palestinian women in Silwad while they were picking figs and assaulted a Palestinian family and foreign journalists in Jalud, smashing the media crew's vehicle, according to Middle East Eye.\n\nThe attacks are part of a surge in settler violence in the West Bank. In July, there were 2,256 attacks by Israeli soldiers and settlers against Palestinians and their property, the Palestinian Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission reported, as cited by Middle East Eye.",
