IOF imposes closure on Arroub camp

Monday 24-December-2018

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Monday morning closed the main gates to Arroub refugee camp and Palestine Technical University.

Dean of Students Affairs Department at Palestine Technical University- Arroub branch Issa al-Emla said that the IOF soldiers have been deployed in large numbers around the university since the early morning hours.

Al-Emla said that the IOF further prevented Palestinian citizens from leaving or entering the camp through its main entrance.

Al-Emla stressed that the closure imposed on Palestine Technical University is a deliberate aggression on Palestinian institutions and a blatant violation of international norms.

Dozens of Palestinians were injured on Sunday during clashes with the IOF in Arroub camp north of al-Khalil city.

Local sources said that the IOF heavily fired rubber-coated metal bullets stun grenades and teargas bombs at the Palestinian citizens.
