Israeli settler arrested over attack on West Bank village

Enemy media: Israeli police said an Israeli settler has been arrested on suspicion of taking part in a violent attack on the West Bank Palestinian village of Qusra this week. In a statement, police said the suspect, 19, from a settlement in the northern West Bank, was detained this morning by officers after a joint investigation with the Shin Bet, and was taken for further questioning before later being brought to court to seek an extension of his remand. He is the first person arrested over Saturday's attack on Qusra, which saw dozens of Israeli settlers raid the village, take over a home with a family still inside, and attack residents, including by throwing stones at Palestinians and others.
