Rights groups warn settler and state-led violence aim to displace Palestinians and annex land in the occupied West Bank.

The IDF specifically called an extremist settler takeover of Palestinian property near Qusra and Jalud “illegal, reprehensible, and unacceptable.”

Earlier on Wednesday, the IDF began lifting the siege imposed by a group of settlers on two homes in the Palestinian village of Qusra, which is located in Area B of the West Bank.
