Settler siege of Palestinian homes in the West Bank a 'horrific act of terror,' US ambassador says

Settlers have besieged three homes in the occupied West Bank for several days. One besieged home is owned by a Palestinian American, Loui Ridi. The U.S. ambassador called the settler actions a horrific act of terror on Thursday. Israeli troops intervened to restore order and dismantled illegal outposts near the homes. Settler violence has surged in recent years, with authorities downplaying its extent.
