Settlers maintained a blockade of multiple residences in Qassra village south of Nablus on Friday, continuing a siege now in its 13th day, the Shehab Wire reported. Israeli occupation forces positioned themselves around the properties to provide security for the settlers during the operation, which residents and observers characterize as an attempt to confiscate the homes and establish new territorial control in the area.
The extended siege has restricted movement and access for residents of the affected households. The operation underscores ongoing tensions in the northern West Bank village as settler expansion campaigns intensify throughout the region.
