Israeli forces on Friday blocked around 100 Israeli peace activists from delivering humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Qusra, a town in the northern occupied West Bank that has been under an Israeli siege for 28 days, according to the Peace Now movement.
Since Aug. 9, Israeli occupiers have besieged three Palestinian homes in Qusra, while the Israeli army has also prevented the families from entering or leaving them, claiming the area is a "closed military zone.”
"Day 28 of the blockade on Qusra. About 100 activists arrived to deliver supplies to the besieged families,” the Israeli left-wing Peace Now movement said in a post on the US social media platform X.
"The army blocked us at first, claiming Qusra was a ‘closed military zone.’ Then let us in but on the way back detained us for ‘violating a closed military zone’,” it added.
Peace Now said the field commander currently refused even to allow aid to be brought in to the families, saying they could come out and receive it themselves, although the army prevents Palestinians from leaving their besieged homes.
