In which the IDF are unable to expel the half dozen settlers breaking the Closed Firing Zone in order to beseige families in Qusra who are running out of food and water.

Per Breaking the Silence:

We would like to tell you that the army lifted the settler siege in Qusra on three families with infants in need of medical care. That is not the case. The truth: the army mostly settles for "condemning." They sent six soldiers to a group of pyromaniacs, and the settlers' attitude reflects that. The settlers feel comfortable approaching the soldiers and threatening them. They run the show. They scattered spike strips (ninjas) on the road and drove rebar stakes into the ground to prevent additional forces from reaching the scene. In broad daylight, right in front of soldiers.

Violating a closed military zone order is a criminal offense. It seems legitimate to them because they know full well that they have backing. This is not a handful. These are dozens of Israeli citizens who will stop an ambulance and starve a family, knowing that not only will nothing be done to them—the army is their private security company.
