IDF ousts reservist who prayed with besieging settlers; still no arrests for Qusra attack

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has dismissed a reservist who was filmed praying alongside settlers during a siege on a Palestinian area. This disciplinary action coincides with ongoing criticism regarding the lack of arrests following an attack on the village of Qusra in the West Bank. Reports indicate that no suspects have been detained in connection with the incident. Meanwhile, the Israeli police chief has instructed officers not to cooperate with a plan proposed by the Minister of National Security, which seeks to transfer responsibility for civilian law enforcement in the West Bank from the police to the military. Additionally, an activist who was recently deported from Israel has alleged that settler violence is supported by the Israeli state.
