Palestinian families remain trapped as illegal settlers surround West Bank homes

Palestinian families in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra remained confined to their homes on Thursday after illegal Israeli settlers blocked access to the properties and water and electricity supplies, according to residents and reports from the area. The confrontation began on Sunday in Qusra, south of Nablus. Palestinian residents said settlers established a presence outside their homes and prevented people and supplies from reaching them.
