Several dozen settlers came down on Qusra, set fires on its outskirts and threw stones at residents and homes. They then entered a Palestinian home while the family was inside and barricaded themselves there. The IDF said troops and Border Police removed the 'rioters' from the house and confiscated several of their vehicles, but no arrests were reported. A Palestinian woman was injured and taken to hospital.
