The Israeli occupation forces on Saturday sealed off the eastern access road to Ni’lin town west of Ramallah with a military checkpoint blocking civilians’ access out of and into the area.
According to local sources Israeli soldiers closed off Ni’lin’s eastern thoroughfare without prior notifications and set up a flying military checkpoint where Palestinian vehicles and citizens have been subjected to exhausting inspection.
The Israeli occupation authorities have often sought ways to dismember Palestinian communities across the occupied territories by sealing off main access roads with makeshift checkpoints and abruptly-set roadblocks.
