In Qusra, a village in northern West Bank, Israeli settlers have surrounded a Palestinian family's home, which has been blockaded for three days. The situation is described as very tense, reflecting the climate of violence and harassment faced by Palestinians in the region.

According to France 24, the Israeli army has acknowledged the incident and termed the settlers' actions as illegal and unacceptable. Despite this statement, the settlers continue their siege, showing no intention of leaving.

RFI reported that, under media pressure, the Israeli army claims it is now attempting to dislodge the settlers from the area. Local tensions remain high in this context of conflict.
