Thursday 8-March-2018

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Wednesday blocked Palestinian agricultural roads to the east of Nablus city and near Ya’bad town southwest of Jenin with mounds of dirt and rocks.

According to local sources an Israeli bulldozer escorted by soldiers closed agricultural roads near Beit Dajan town east of Nablus with piles of dirt and rocks.

The IOF also closed on the same day similar roads connecting the hamlets of Umm Riha and al-Makhal and leading to Ya’bad town southwest of Jenin.

Municipal chief of Ya’bad Samer Abu Baker affirmed that the IOF closed those roads in the West Bank adding that Israeli troops obstructed the movement of local citizens and prevented them from going to their cultivated plots of land.

Abu Baker noted that the IOF also barred villagers from al-Makhal hamlet from going to their homes.
