IOF to impose collective punishment measures in Salfit town

Thursday 28-September-2017

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) threatened to impose additional collective punishment measures against Palestinian civilians living in Kafer Hares town north of Salfit.

IOF notified local residents that they are banned from entering and exiting the town threatening to tighten military restrictions at its entry roads.

IOF justified its measures by claiming that anti-occupation attacks have recently intensified in the surrounding areas.

These measures fall within the collective punishment policy which is prohibited in the international human rights law.
