The IDF has reduced its position-holding in the Palestinian village of Qusra, but Jewish rioters have returned to the area. Council head Abd al-Azim al-Wadi told ynet that there is a siege on the area of the homes, and residents cannot reach them. He reported property damage in homes that were entered, including the taking of security camera DVRs and destruction of furniture. Water and electricity supply remain cut off, and attempts are being made to coordinate the supply of basic needs. The UN issued a warning about 'intolerable levels' of settler violence, noting that since November 2025, takeovers, attacks, vandalism, theft, and arson have been reported. Meanwhile, the IDF took positions in three homes in Jalud and demolished the outpost of Tel Talpiot. US Ambassador Mike Huckabee moderated his criticism, noting that 'real settlers' condemn the actions of the minority.
