Qusra's municipal chief Abdel Azim Wadi said, according to Shehab Wire, that homes in the Jabal Ras al-Ain area remain under siege by Israeli settlers and occupation forces for the ninth consecutive day. The blockade has restricted access and movement in the residential zone without interruption since it began.
Wadi stated that the ongoing siege contradicts claims made in Israeli media accounts of the situation. The continued presence of settlers and military forces around the encircled homes has prevented residents from freely entering or leaving the affected neighborhoods in the West Bank village.
