IOF closes main entrance to Lubban village in Nablus

Saturday 23-December-2017

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Saturday closed the main entrance to al-Lubban village south of Nablus city in the West Bank.

Local sources reported that an Israeli military bulldozer escorted by troops blocked the main entrance to the village with mounds of dirt and rocks. The entrance is near the Ramallah-Nablus road.

They added that they were told by an Israeli officer that the road would remain closed until further notice.

They expressed their belief that the measure was taken as punishment against the villagers following pro-Jerusalem clashes on Friday with Israeli soldiers. About 20 local young men suffered injuries during the events.
