The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) closed at dawn Monday a Palestinian car wash in the town of Deir Ballout to the west of Salfit city in the central West Bank.
Local sources told the PIC reporter that Israeli soldiers shut down the Palestinian facility and confiscated its equipment.
The Israeli army had earlier ordered Deir Ballout’s residents to stop the construction of their own homes and commercial facilities.
Palestinian villages in the Salfit area including Kafr al-Dik Deir Ballout Rafat Sarta and al-Zawiya have seen vast tracts of land confiscated for the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements in the western outskirts of the Salfit district over the years.
