Dozens of Israeli activists arrived this morning at the besieged homes in the West Bank Palestinian village of Qusra and brought food, which they left several meters from the entrances to the homes, according to footage filmed by residents of the besieged homes.
However, Qusay Abu Ridi, a resident of one of the besieged homes, tells The Times of Israel that Border Police forces currently stationed at the entrances prevented the activists from entering and delivering the food.
Over the past hour, Border Police forces once again dismantled a makeshift structure erected by settlers at the entrance to the homes, but there are no known arrests of settlers.
The settlers then fled the entrance to the homes, and a Border Police force is now stationed at the site.
מספר פעילים ישראלים הגיעו הבוקר לבתים בקצה קוסרה עם אוכל התקרבו עד למטרים ספורים ואז נבלמו על ידי כוחות מג"ב ששוהים שם עכשיו (אחרי פירוק נוסף של האוהל). השאירו את האוכל סמוך לכניסה לבתים pic.twitter.com/Kn4MpCN4AZ
