The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) on Thursday withdrew commercial permits for travel to Israel from 110 Palestinian businessmen from Jenin province in the West Bank.
A citizen told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that he went in the morning to al-Jalama crossing in Jenin as usual where he saw an Israeli officer from the Israeli army’s civil administration taking away permits issued especially for commercial purposes from citizens on allegations they were not businessmen or merchants.
The citizen described the measure as part of the Israeli restrictions on the lives and livelihoods of the Palestinian families in the occupied West Bank.
In a related context the Palestinian chamber of commerce in Jenin said the Israeli measure at the crossing today increased the number of businessmen whose commercial permits were withdrawn recently by Israel to 220 citizens from the province.
