The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Monday evening set up a makeshift checkpoint at the main entrance to Qarawat Bani Hassan town northwest of Salfit province in the West Bank.
Local sources said that Israeli soldiers at the checkpoint intercepted Palestinian vehicles and forced young passengers to leave cars for security check.
They added that the Israeli measure caused traffic jams and prompted drivers to seek alternative routes to reach their destinations.
Military and police forces erect road barriers and checkpoints everyday at entrances to Palestinian towns and villages in the West Bank as part of Israel’s movement restrictions on the Palestinians.
