The main entrance to the town of Qusra, in the West Bank province of Nablus, remains blocked to Palestinians by the Israeli occupation forces for the third day in a row, according to local sources. Fo’ad Hasan, a local Palestinian activist, told WAFA that the continuing Israeli shutdown of the town’s main entrance has forced residents of the town to opt for alternative routes, sometimes dirt roads, that are much longer in to reach their workplaces outside the town and in their way back home. Nearly 300 residents of the village whose homes are adjacent to the dirt mounds placed by the Israeli occupation army to block the town’s entrance are the most badly affected by the closure, he added.
