Severe field clashes broke out on the outskirts of Qusra village, located south of Nablus, after groups of 'Israeli' settlers launched an attack targeting Palestinian homes and setting fire to nearby agricultural land in the Ras al-Ain area.
According to local Palestinian sources, dozens of settlers raided the outer edges of the village, encircling inhabited homes, throwing stones, and attempting to destroy private property.
The assailants also set fire to nearby vegetation and farmland adjacent to residential structures, threatening to spread flames toward the homes.
"Groups of settlers raided the outskirts of Qusra and surrounded inhabited Palestinian homes, hurling stones and attempting to destroy local property before setting fire to nearby land," local sources reported.
Military backs settlers
Following the initial raid, local Palestinian youths and residents rushed to the Ras al-Ain district to defend the encircled families and extinguish the fires, leading to direct confrontations with the raiding settlers.
'Israeli' military forces subsequently entered the area, providing protective cover to the settlers. Witnesses confirmed that troops deployed live ammunition warnings, tear gas canisters, and sound grenades against the local residents attempting to repel the assault, causing multiple cases of suffocation.
Local municipal leaders in Qusra highlighted that the Ras al-Ain area has been subjected to repeated raids, land confiscations, and siege tactics in recent months as illegal outposts expand along the surrounding hilltops.
