The Israeli occupation army on Thursday closed the agricultural road between the villages of Shufa and Kafr al-Labad east of Tulkarem in the West Bank.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that a military bulldozer escorted by soldiers closed the road with mounds of dirt and rocks.
They said the closure would cause a great suffering for local residents and farmers when moving between Shufa and Kafr al-Labad.
Shufa residents would have to travel a distance of more than 27 kilometers from the village to the nearby hamlet known locally as Khirbet Shufa.
Local farmers believe that the road was closed in order to spoil the approaching olive harvest season and to please the Jewish settlers living in the area.
