Israeli Soldiers Clash With Settlers Targeting Palestinian Homes

Israeli soldiers clashed with 50–60 settlers — Israelis who live in occupied Palestinian territory — who had surrounded three Palestinian families' homes in Qusra, south of Nablus. Soldiers took down a settler tent, then left. Israel's top general sent extra troops. The military is punishing soldiers filmed standing with settlers instead of stopping them, calling the home takeovers "illegal, reprehensible and unacceptable."
