Roadblocks and Siege: A Pattern of Control in the Occupied Territories The recent deployment of three new Israeli roadblocks around Palestinian homes in Qusra, a village in the occupied West Bank, is just the latest manifestation of a long standing strategy of control and containment.
For weeks, Israeli settlers had been besieging three homes in the area, forcing residents to live under the threat of attack.
The new roadblocks, strategically placed at key locations, further entrench this siege by disconnecting the community from the rest of Qusra.
