The Israeli army raided the town of Qusra, south of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank, on Thursday and imposed a curfew amid mounting tensions as Israeli occupiers continued to besiege three Palestinian families for a fourth consecutive day.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that a large Israeli military force entered the town, with infantry troops and dozens of military vehicles deployed throughout its streets.

The forces imposed a curfew and ordered shops to close, they added.

Tensions have escalated in Qusra since Israeli occupiers erected a tent and temporary structures among Palestinian homes in the Ras al-Ain area on the outskirts of the town.

The occupiers have surrounded three homes since Sunday, preventing their residents from entering or leaving and barring visitors from reaching them.
