Where it stands

As of the August 16 report, groups of 50 to 100 armed Israeli settlers were besieging three homes in Qusra, cutting the families off from food and supplies. Activists’ attempts to bring food and water were stopped, and the Israeli military had not removed the settlers; the families’ access to essential supplies remains unresolved.
