Palestinian-American Loui Ridi traveled from Ohio to the West Bank village of Qusra to support his brother and nephew as settlers besieged his family home, with Israeli forces declaring a closed military zone and escorting him to the house. He re-entered the home, raised an American flag from the roof, underscoring ongoing disputes over land in the area and mounting US condemnation of settler violence.
