Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continued the closure imposed on Nablus for the 13th day in a row on Sunday.
The closure came as part of the IOF collective punishment policy following the killing of an IOF soldier in a Palestinian resistance’s shooting operation carried out by the Arin al-Osoud (Lions’ Den) armed group near the West Bank city of Nablus.
On the 11th of October an Israeli soldier was shot and killed in a Palestinian resistance’s shooting operation near the illegal settlement of Shavei Shomron established on Palestinian-owned lands northwest of Nablus.
Since then IOF soldiers have been setting up military checkpoints and mound blocks at Nablus entrances restricting the movement of citizens in and out of the city.
