Popular and national factions issued a public call for residents to participate in a mass demonstration Sunday morning against a blockade imposed by settler groups on homes in Qassra, a town south of Nablus, Shehab Wire reported. The march was scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.
Settlers have surrounded Palestinian residences in the village, restricting movement and limiting access to residents' property. The blockade has persisted as part of escalating tensions between Palestinian communities and settler outposts in the region. Organizers framed the march as a show of solidarity with affected families and a demand for the immediate removal of restrictions on movement and use of their homes.
