Israeli settlers have been besieging Palestinian homes in the West Bank village of Qusra for nearly a week, with families reporting their electricity and water supplies have been cut off. The mayor of Qusra says Israeli troops have ordered families to leave their houses and are using some homes as barracks, with six homes reported to have been evacuated and taken over by soldiers. Residents say the coordinated offensive aims to force Palestinians from their homes so settlers can seize the land. The United States has condemned the siege.
