- One of the homes belongs to a Palestinian-American.
- The standoff has blocked residents and activists trying to bring food and water to the families, with Israeli soldiers turning them back or blocking the road.
- The report says the confrontation is part of a broader wave of settler violence in the West Bank, territory captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war.
Israeli settlers have besieged three homes in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra for several days, leaving the families inside fearing the houses could be taken over. One of the homes belongs to a Palestinian-American, according to the report.
The standoff has drawn activists who tried to deliver food and water to the residents. Israeli soldiers blocked the road and turned the activists back, preventing supplies from reaching the homes.
The report places the confrontation in the context of a wider rise in settler violence across the West Bank. The territory was captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war and is intended by Palestinians to be part of a future state.
西岸村庄巴勒斯坦人担心以色列定居者夺走他们的家园
报道说，以色列定居者在被占领的约旦河西岸村庄库斯拉围困三处民宅已有数日，屋内家庭担心房屋可能被夺走。其中一处房屋属于一名巴勒斯坦裔美国人。
这场对峙引来活动人士前往送去食物和饮水，但以色列士兵封锁道路并将他们拦回，使补给无法送达这些房屋。
报道还将这起事件放在约旦河西岸定居者暴力上升的背景下。该地区是在1967年中东战争中被以色列夺取，巴勒斯坦人希望它成为未来巴勒斯坦国的一部分。
