Israeli police kill Palestinian in Jerusalem as army blocks aid to besieged Qusra

Israeli police have killed a Palestinian in Jerusalem, according to Al Jazeera, while separately in the West Bank village of Qusra, the Israeli army blocked both Israeli and Palestinian activists from delivering food and medicine to households besieged by settlers.

Aid blocked in Qusra

Residents of homes in Qusra have reportedly been under siege by settler groups, restricting their access to basic supplies. Activists, including both Israelis and Palestinians, attempted to bring in food and medicine to the affected families, but Israeli forces intervened and prevented the deliveries from reaching the besieged households.

Killing in Jerusalem

In a separate incident, Israeli police killed a Palestinian in Jerusalem. Further details of the circumstances surrounding the killing have not been made available.

The two incidents underscore ongoing tensions involving Israeli security forces, settlers and Palestinian communities in both Jerusalem and the West Bank.
