Israeli army closes roads in al-Khalil

Sunday 6-November-2016

The Israeli occupation army on Saturday evening closed four vital roads in al-Khalil province and prevented Palestinian passengers from using the road 60 which leads to towns and villages in the east.

Eyewitnesses told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that an Israeli military force established a roadblock at the entrance to Sa’ir town and embarked on searching passing cars and passengers until late at night.

Israeli soldiers also sealed the entrance to al-Fawwar refugee camp south of al-Khalil with the iron gate and closed the main entrances to al-Samua town and Dura town.

These road closures forced the locals to take longer routes in order to reach their destinations.

According to the Hebrew media the Israeli army closed these roads in order to use road 60 for overnight military drills.
