On Saturday, a group of Palestinian residents in the village of Qusra reported being besieged by dozens of masked Israeli settlers. According to accounts provided to Reuters and Al Jazeera, the residents were at a house under construction attempting to install protective metal netting when the incident began. The residents stated that the settlers threw stones and ignited materials at the property, prompting those inside to shelter in place for approximately one hour.

There is a discrepancy regarding the actions of the Israeli military during the encounter. According to Saddam Oday, one of the individuals inside the home, Israeli soldiers arrived at the scene and fired tear gas into the house. Oday reported that the military detained the other six individuals who were sheltering with him, while he was released. Reports indicate that no settlers were detained by the military during or after the incident, and they were permitted to leave the area. The reports focus on the perspective of the Palestinian residents; there is currently no official statement provided by the Israeli military or settler groups regarding their version of the events or the justification for the detentions.
