This caused apprehension and heightened tension among both students and educators. Meanwhile, in Nablus, settlers hurled stones at Palestinian vehicles and obstructed roads.

This siege has been ongoing for the 29th consecutive day, effectively barring the families residing within from entering or exiting their homes.",
