Israeli Forces Use Tear Gas Against Settlers in Qusra — and Fail to Dislodge Them

Israeli security forces fired tear gas and stun grenades at Jewish settlers besieging two Palestinian families in Qusra, West Bank — a rare use of crowd-control munitions against settlers. The operation failed: a larger settler group confronted the troops, who withdrew without clearing the outpost. The families had been trapped without water or power since Sunday.
