Palestinians, Foreign Activists Protest Israeli Siege of Homes in West Bank

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Palestinians, foreign activists and left-wing Israeli activists held a protest Friday in the occupied West Bank town of Qusra before heading toward three Palestinian homes that have been under siege by the Israeli regime for five consecutive days.

The protesters gathered in the Ras al-Ain area of Qusra, south of Nablus, before moving toward the besieged homes to check on residents and deliver essential supplies, an Anadolu correspondent reported.

Israeli regime troops prevented the activists from reaching the homes, claiming the area was a “closed military zone.”

The protesters nevertheless managed to deliver food, water and other essential supplies to the residents.

Meanwhile, Israeli regime forces re-erected a tent outside the homes of three Palestinian families in the Ras al-Ain area as the siege entered its fifth consecutive day.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that the Israeli regime forces put the tent back up outside the Palestinian homes before Israeli troops arrived and dismantled it.

The siege of the homes continued, with the Israeli regime restricting residents’ movement, the witnesses said.

Israeli regime forces also remained deployed around the area, with military vehicles and soldiers continuing to enter and leave Qusra.

The developments came a day after hundreds of Israeli regime soldiers raided the town.

Abdul Azim Wadi, head of the town council, told Anadolu on Thursday that Israeli regime forces had seized 16 Palestinian homes and converted them into military barracks.

The army also evacuated residents from several homes, including families who had already been under siege by the Israeli regime, he added.

Eyewitnesses said Israeli regime troops withdrew Friday morning from the Palestinian homes they had seized the previous day.

The three families in Ras al-Ain have been under siege by dozens of Israeli regime forces since Sunday.

The Israeli regime erected a tent and other temporary structures and blocked roads leading to the homes, while obstructing deliveries of food, water and medicine and cutting water and electricity lines, according to Palestinian accounts.

Local reports indicate that the regime began attempts to seize the homes around four months ago.

The families fear the siege is intended to force them to leave, allowing the regime to take over their properties.

The regime’s attacks against Palestinians and their property have intensified across the occupied West Bank since Israel launched its war on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, prompting Palestinian and international warnings over the growing seizure of land and homes and the displacement of residents.
