Event Notes

Attacks and ethnic cleansing in Qusra

Qusra is a Palestinian town in the occupied West Bank, located south of the city of Nablus in the Nablus Governorate. It lies in Area C under full Israeli control according to the Oslo Accords and is near Israeli settlements and outposts to the south and southeast

The area has faced frequent settler violence and land confiscation due to the proximity of illegal Israeli outposts such as Esh Kodesh and Ahiya.

On February 27, 2026, a group of settler militias brutally attacked Israeli activists in the village of Qusra in the Nablus District, West Bank. Two were injured by sticks and hospitalized in moderate condition.

The settlers assaulted foreign activists who were present to support and protect local Palestinian residents in the Ras al-Ayn area, wounding two. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) sources confirmed that its crews provided first aid treatment to a 71-year-old woman and a 51-year-old man whom were injured by colonists before rushing them to a hospital.

According to a B'tselem statement, these pogroms are "carried out with full backing, participation, and assistance from state authorities, as part of a strategy of Israel’s apartheid regime seeking to advance and complete the takeover of Palestinian land. In a video documenting the beginning of the attack, filmed by one of the activists, the assailants can be seen arriving in a Polaris Ranger all terrain vehicle, which was most likely provided to them by the Israeli government. Dozens of such vehicles have been distributed over the past two years by the Ministry of Settlement to outposts across the West Bank, and settlers regularly use them as vehicles that enable rapid access to carry out violent attacks almost anywhere."

The details for each video come from social media. None of it has been verified.
