IDF confirms demolishing structures of 2 settler outposts overnight

The military confirms that security forces demolished the structures of two illegal settler outposts in the West Bank villages of Qusra and Jalud overnight.

Both outposts were established on the outskirts of the villages, in Area B of the West Bank. The IDF says security forces dismantled structures, confiscated equipment, and detained one Israeli suspect.

Despite the IDF’s statements, settlers were still seen this morning outside two Palestinian homes in Qusra, which they have besieged since Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Golani Brigade’s 51st Battalion, which had been on a break between operational activities, was deployed to the northern West Bank area to assist with handling settler provocations and attacks against Palestinians. “The troops will carry out defensive missions and patrols in the area to maintain security in the region,” the military says.
