IDF says it’s probing incident in which soldiers prayed with settlers besieging Palestinian home

Nurit Yohanan is The Times of Israel's Palestinian and Arab world correspondent

The IDF tells The Times of Israel in response to footage from yesterday showing soldiers praying alongside settlers who are blocking a Palestinian home in the West Bank that “the incident is being investigated by the commanders. Disciplinary action will be taken in accordance with the findings.”

Settlers have been blocking a Palestinian home in the village of Qusra for the past day, preventing the family living there from entering or leaving.

Soldiers were filmed arriving at the scene yesterday, sitting with the settlers and praying with them, before leaving without removing the settlers.
