A Palestinian American has returned to his home in the West Bank to defend it against a siege by Israeli settlers. The home, located in the village of Qusra, has been surrounded by settlers for over a week.

The situation is part of a larger increase in violence in the West Bank, with settlers attacking Palestinian towns and villages. The Israeli military has deployed troops to the area, citing a need to maintain order.

Further details on the situation are available from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, including the response of the United States to the siege and the actions of the Israeli settlers.
