West Bank siege persists as settlers blockade Palestinian homes in Qusra and Jalud
Palestinian families in the West Bank villages of Qusra and Jalud remain blockaded by Israeli settlers backed by soldiers, with water and electricity cut off and medical access blocked; an ambulance was redirected when a child fell ill, and while the army pledged action and reinforced troops, the siege continues, highlighting concerns by rights groups that the actions reflect a broader pattern of displacement in the area.
