Settlers continue to besiege Palestinian family's home, despite their tent being removed

Jewish settlers have continued their siege of a Palestinian family's home in the village of Qusra, located south of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank, according to reports from Jerusalem on August 12. The ongoing pressure on the residence, which houses a family with two daughters, persists despite Israeli Border Police agents having removed a tent from the property on Wednesday.

In a related development on the same day, the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem publicly denounced the Israeli army's inaction regarding the situation. The NGO reported that military personnel responded to Qusra, in the central West Bank, but failed to intervene as groups of Israeli settlers besieged the homes of Palestinian families, characterizing the military's response as inaction in the face of settler harassment.
