Qusra village faces three-week siege by Israeli soldiers and settlers
The Palestinian village of Qusra, located near Nablus in the occupied West Bank, has been under a three-week siege involving Israeli soldiers and radical settlers. Residents report that the combined actions of the military and settlers are intended to force them to abandon their homes.
Palestinian-American resident Loui Ridi describes being prevented from accessing his own property by soldiers and settlers. He reports that the military has installed gates and cement blocks to obstruct secondary roads and has placed structures in front of homes to block main access routes.
To facilitate the displacement of residents, water and electricity supplies to certain homes have been cut. Yair Dvir, a spokesperson, noted that while such incidents are not new, the level of brutality in these confrontations is increasing across the West Bank.
