WorldIsraeli settlers besiege Palestinian homes near Qusra and Burin

On returning home near Qusra, Palestinian landowner Loay Abu Ridi encountered Israeli settlers while checking the trees he had planted. Palestinians say soldiers have barely intervened during a siege now entering its second week. At the Soufan family home, settlers cut the power and erected a tent, while the army blocked the access road, trapping the family and frightening its children.
