Israeli settlers set up a tent near the homes of Palestinian families trapped in the West Bank village of Qusra on Friday (August 14), with one settler seen hurling stones toward the village, while Israeli soldiers and military vehicles were deployed at the site, footage obtained by Reuters showed.

Reuters confirmed the location from the terrain, road layout and buildings which matched archive and satellite imagery of the area. Date of the footage was confirmed by the source.

The siege began at the weekend when Jewish settlers closed off the road to the three homes in the Palestinian village of Qusra and set up a tent in their front yards, refusing to allow anyone to enter or leave. The settlers had earlier cut off their electricity and water.

Israel's military says it is trying to disperse the settlers from the area, even as a video from earlier in the week showed several Israeli men in green military garb joining the settlers in a morning prayer in the tent. The military said it was taking disciplinary action against any personnel involved.
