Palestinian residents of the village of Qusra in the West Bank said they have faced repeated attacks by armed settlers over the past several months, according to statements from the villagers and local officials. Qusra, a small Palestinian community near Nablus, has experienced heightened tension since 2023 as settler violence has increased in the area. The attacks have included property damage, physical assaults and occasional gunfire, with residents reporting injuries and damage to homes and vehicles, while Israeli security forces said they are investigating the incidents and have increased patrols in the area. The Palestinian Authority condemned the violence and called for accountability, and it remains unclear whether the frequency of the reported attacks will lead to renewed negotiations or further escalation.
