> Israeli troops moved to protect three homes in Qusra, in the occupied West Bank, after settlers surrounded them for several days. One property belongs to a Palestinian American, prompting unusually harsh criticism from US Ambassador Mike Huckabee, who called the conduct criminal and an act of terror. The IDF said it dismantled two nearby illegal outposts and detained one Israeli.
