Soldiers attack Palestinians on main road to Azzun town

Sunday 16-October-2016

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Saturday night assaulted Palestinian citizens and showered them with tear gas on the main road to Azzun town east of Qalqiliya province.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that Israeli troops closed once again the road leading to Azzun town after residents opened it recently.
They added that the soldiers obstructed the movement of citizens and vehicles on the road and at the entrance to the town.
Meanwhile a group of Jewish settlers committed acts of bullying against Palestinian citizens on another road near Azzun town according to eyewitnesses.
Earlier on the same day the Israeli army reclosed the main road leading to Aqraba town south of Nablus a few days after locals opened it.
Eyewitnesses told the PIC that Israeli bulldozers belonging to the army closed the road anew with mounds of dirt and rocks as well as concrete blocks.
The Israeli army had closed the road several months ago but local residents managed to open it many times.
