The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Saturday evening stormed Anata town northeast of Jerusalem provoking clashes with local young men.
According to local sources the IOF blocked the main entrance to Anata town and obstructed the movement of citizens during the events.
The IOF also stormed Kafr Qaddum town in Qalqilya and attacked the weekly march protesting settlement activity and the closure of the main road which has been closed since 2003.
Local sources said that clashes broke out between participants in the march and Israeli soldiers.
Kafr Qaddum’s road is the main route to the nearby city of Nablus the nearest economic center.
The Israeli army blocked off the road after expanding the illegal settlement of Kedumim in 2003 forcing the local residents to take a bypass road in order to travel to Nablus which has extended the travel time to Nablus from 15 minutes to 40 minutes according to Israeli rights group B’Tselem.
