A Palestinian family in the South Hebron Hills has been surrounded by Israeli settlers for more than two weeks, Al Jazeera English reported. The encampment outside their home has effectively cut off the family from surrounding villages and access to basic services.
The blockade represents a broader pattern of settler activity in the region, where Palestinians face mounting restrictions on movement and land access. Tensions between settlers and Palestinian communities in the South Hebron Hills have intensified in recent years amid competing claims over territory.
