IOF closes main road to Azzun town

Friday 11-November-2016

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Thursday night closed the main entrance to Azzun town east of Qalqilya city and spread in an area near the city and Hableh town.

Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that Israeli soldiers closed the main entrance to Azzun town with the iron barrier gate and obstructed the movement of vehicles and passengers.

They added that the soldiers selectively interrogated young men at the entrance without making arrests complaining that such Israeli movement restrictions happen almost on a daily basis.

Another military force was reportedly deployed along and near the road connecting Hableh town with Qalqilya city where soldiers were seen detaining and questioning a boy for a while.

In Occupied Jerusalem Israeli police forces earlier on the same day stormed Bab Hitta neighborhood near the Aqsa Mosque and embarked on harassing Palestinian citizens.

Local sources said that Israeli policemen and Shin Bet officers stopped some young men in the neighborhood and interrogated them before they raided homes.

The sources however did not state if the police arrested anyone during their campaign in the neighborhood.
