West Bank Residents Under Siege by Settlers "There has been a significant increase in harassment of Palestinians by settlers on the West Bank during the summer, which has been reported from Tel Aviv, where SVT's foreign correspondent David Boati and photographer Pernilla Edholm have told us about how several Palestinian homes are being besieged by settlers. The US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has condemned the incidents and described those who carry out terror against families living in occupied West Bank territories as 'Israeli terrorists'. Israeli troops have been sent to Qusra to protect the besieged families from the settlers. Two illegal roadblocks have been removed and one Israeli settler has been arrested. The prominent siege started on Sunday, when Palestinian families claim that they have since then been held captive in their homes by the settlers. Both electricity and water supplies have been cut off. A woman has told Reuters about how her family is living in fear and fears for their lives. They tried to break into the house through the gate, but the settlers threw stones at them and made threats."
