Get you up to speed: West Bank: Palestinians families trapped in home

Israeli settlers are carrying out a campaign of violence and intimidation against the Palestinian village of Qusra in the occupied West Bank, cutting off families’ electricity and water supplies. Residents report ongoing attacks that have prevented them from accessing their land and harvesting olives.

Local authorities have not commented on the status of any ongoing investigations into the reported attacks. The situation in Qusra reflects a broader trend of heightened tensions and violence in the West Bank since the events of October 7.

Israeli settlers’ actions in Qusra have prompted local residents to assert that authorities are failing to protect them, with calls for increased security measures. In response to the escalating violence, Palestinian leaders may seek intervention from international bodies to address the situation.

What remains unclear — It is not detailed how many Palestinians have been killed in the last 24 hours. However, Israeli militia incidents of violence have been reported regularly for the last 4 years and the International community has failed to reign in the Israeli government.
