Israeli troops raid Qusra in occupied West Bank as settlers surround homes
Residents and activists say several Palestinian houses in Qusra have been cut off for days while Israeli forces try to keep confrontations from escalating.
Israeli troops raided the Palestinian village of Qusra, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, on Sunday as settlers continued to surround homes on the edge of the community. The situation has left some residents isolated, according to reports from the area.
France 24 quoted activist Netanael Hanadaro as saying he and other members of non-governmental groups reached the affected houses on foot and left food outside for the families inside. He said the Israeli army told them it would deliver the supplies.
Hanadaro described the homes as being encircled by settlers while soldiers worked to stop clashes between the two sides. The reports did not say how many people were trapped or whether anyone was injured.
The village has become a focal point of tensions in the northern West Bank, where settler attacks and military raids have repeatedly been reported in recent months.
