IDF soldiers stationed at entrances to Qusra homes; residents still can’t leave

The besieged residents of Qusra are still unable to leave their homes, even though IDF soldiers removed the settler outpost that began blocking homes in the Palestinian West Bank village more than a week ago.

For the past two days, soldiers have been stationed at the entrances to the homes on the outskirts of the village, according to footage and residents who spoke with The Times of Israel.

Soldiers have also remained inside one of the besieged homes for the past five days, all in an effort to prevent the reestablishment of the settler outpost.

However, the Palestinian residents have been told by the IDF that they are still prohibited from leaving their homes.

Settlers are also filmed roaming around the area of the homes today, with several of them seen speaking with the soldiers outside one of the houses for several minutes, even though the area has been declared a closed military zone and Israelis are prohibited from entering it.
