A BBC investigation into a week of Israeli settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has been followed by further incidents underscoring the scale of the problem. Israeli settlers raided the besieged village of Qusra, prompting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to break his silence and decry 'criminal violence,' though he downplayed the incident by blaming 'a handful of rioters' and did not address the lack of arrests over the ongoing violence, which critics say harms Israel's international standing. Separately, police detained a UK man amid West Bank clashes, saying he is suspected of an indecent act against a minor, after he was denounced by settlers as an 'anarchist' and 'pedophile.' In a separate incident near Nablus, masked Israeli settlers attacked an NBC News crew and a Palestinian woman, Aida Ahmed Abdullah, 51, in the village of Jalud, which has seen relentless settler violence in recent weeks. Abdullah, who had been forced from her home by settlers and was being interviewed at the time, sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The incidents add to mounting international scrutiny of extremist settler actions and growing criticism of the Israeli government's response.
