B'Tselem, an Israeli human rights group, warned that illegal settlers are attempting to forcibly displace two Palestinian families from their homes in Qusra, a town south of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank, IMEMC News reported. The organization described the incidents as part of an escalating pattern of settler seizures targeting Palestinian property in the area.
The displacement efforts represent ongoing pressure on Palestinian residents in the village. Settlers have intensified their takeover attempts in recent months, according to B'Tselem's assessment of conditions on the ground in Qusra and surrounding communities in the northern West Bank.
