The Israeli occupation army have imposed a total lockdown on Salfit City in the north of the West Bank following the deadly shooting operation that took place last night at the entrance of the illegal settlement of Ariel.
According to local sources a large number of Israeli troops stormed Salfit City and raided homes at dawn after blocking all the entrances leading to it and setting up new checkpoints around it.
Salfit mayor Abdul-Kareem Zubaidi said that the Israeli army closed all the roads leading to the City with mounds of dirt and rocks and isolated it from other West Bank areas.
He added that Israeli bulldozers destroyed the city’s main water supply line.
Meanwhile a large number of Israeli soldiers have also been deployed at the entrances leading to nearby towns and villages.
