Activists try to deliver aid to Palestinians in homes besieged by Israeli settlers

Two families in the occupied West Bank have been unable to leave their homes for several days, saying they have been besieged by Israeli settlers who have blocked access to the surrounding area.

Activists have been trying to deliver basic food and aid supplies to the trapped families, though the attempts have at times been obstructed. The standoff is being viewed as part of a broader pattern of rising settler violence reported across the West Bank in recent months.

Israeli authorities have not issued an official comment on the incident. Human rights groups say similar besiegement cases have become increasingly common in the region, raising concern over the safety of civilians.
