Netanyahu condemns Israeli settler attack on Palestinian village of Qusra
Dozens of Israeli settlers attacked Qusra in the West Bank, drawing a rare condemnation from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid rising regional tensions.
Dozens of Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian village of Qusra in the northern West Bank following weeks of heightened local tensions, according to witnesses and military forces. The incident prompted a rare statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who condemned the actions as "actes de violence criminels".
The confrontation follows previous blockades near Nablus that sparked international concern. In a separate development, Israeli officials warned the Palestinian Authority that any large-scale attack on West Bank settlements would trigger a "guerre totale", an assertion rejected by Palestinian leaders as inflammatory. Meanwhile, Gaza civil defense officials reported three fatalities following Israeli air strikes aimed at suspected Hamas positions.
