Mahmoud Mardawi, a Hamas official, called on Palestinians in Qusra and surrounding villages in southeastern Nablus to unite behind families facing siege and settler attacks, according to Shehab Wire. He urged residents to strengthen Palestinian presence in the area and resist displacement efforts targeting the community.
The appeal reflects escalating tensions in the region, where Palestinian communities have reported sustained restrictions on movement and repeated confrontations with Israeli settlers. Qusra has faced recurring cycles of closure and settler violence in recent months, affecting access to basic services and livelihoods for local residents.
