Dozens of Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian village of Qusra in the northern occupied West Bank on Saturday, residents and the military said, after nearly three weeks of tension in the area.
Earlier in August a group of rogue settlers began blocking supplies from entering Palestinian houses on the outskirts of the village near Nablus, trapping residents inside and drawing domestic and international condemnation.

Weeks later, Israeli forces continue to operate in the area while settlers still roam the surrounding hills.
On Saturday, Qusra resident Yussef Abdul Kareem Hassan told AFP that a handful of villagers were doing work on a house when they were approached by a small group of settlers.
The settlers then called for backup and returned with dozens more, Hassan said, adding that they had surrounded the Palestinians inside the house and began throwing stones.
