Israeli settlers have been besieging two Palestinian families in their homes in the occupied West Bank since Sunday. The families, identified as the Abu Ridi and Hassan families, have been unable to leave their homes, with their water and power supplies cut off and food stocks running low, according to BBC World.
The incident occurred in the village of Qusra, near Nablus. Israeli security forces attempted to disperse the settlers on Wednesday but withdrew from the area after clashes, with about a dozen settlers remaining at the site, as reported by BBC News and Al-Monitor.
The settlers are blocking roads and confronting Israeli forces, despite a military order declaring the area a closed military zone, Haaretz reported. The homeowner told The Times of Israel that the family is still unable to leave after four days.
