Israeli settlers attack fourth Qusra home today as residents try to fit protective netting

Israeli settlers targeted a fourth house under construction in Qusra on Saturday, after six Palestinian residents went to the property to install metal netting for protection, according to a report by Al Jazeera. The residents were attempting to shield the house from intensifying settler attacks, which have included stones and ignited materials being thrown at Palestinian properties. Israeli soldiers then arrived and fired tear gas at those inside, wounding the homeowner. The six Palestinians were detained by Israeli forces and released sometime later. The latest building sits about 300 metres from three other Palestinian homes that have been besieged by Israeli settlers for over three weeks.
