Israeli army rolls into Nablus cordons off access roads

Wednesday 8-February-2017

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at daybreak Wednesday stormed Nablus’s western outskirts and cordoned off Hawara and Beit Furik towns.

Speaking with PIC eye-witnesses said Israeli army patrols rolled into Nablus via its western entrance.

Military troops have been spotted on the main access road to Tel town.

At the same time the occupation forces intensified presence across Hawara town to the south of Nablus on claims that Molotov cocktails were thrown at settlers’ cars.

Other IOF troops have also been deployed on the thoroughfare to Nablus’s southern town of Beit Furik.

Overnight hundreds of Palestinian civilians had been detained by the IOF at a military checkpoint pitched in Beit Furik and denied access to their homes for hours.
