Israeli occupation forces and settlers have maintained a strict blockade on three Palestinian families in the Ras al-Ayn and al-Maaser areas west of Qassara town, south of Nablus, Shehab Wire reported. The siege entered its 36th consecutive day despite an Israeli Supreme Court ruling permitting the families entry to their homes.
The blockade restricts movement and access for the affected residents in the two districts, according to the report.
