The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continued on Sunday to impose a tight siege on Jericho City which they started nine days ago.
According to local sources Israeli forces are still blocking the entrances of Jericho with road barriers and mounds of dirt and obstructing the movement of cars and citizens.
The sources added that Israeli soldiers continued in the morning to intercept and search vehicles and checking IDs of passengers at the checkpoints they had set up nine days ago at the city’s entrances.
An Israeli military bulldozer was also seen today blocking a side road in Wadi al-Qelt area in the west of Jericho with mounds of dirt.
Meanwhile the IOF rounded up three Palestinian young men after detaining them at the southern entrance of Jericho.
The IOF started to besiege Jericho City after a resistance fighter opened fire at a nearby settler restaurant on January 28. After firing one bullet because of a malfunction in the weapon the fighter fled the scene.
