Israeli border policemen on Sunday morning set up a makeshift checkpoint at the main entrance to Kifl Hares town north of Salfit in the West Bank and embarked on fining Palestinian drivers.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that the checkpoint caused traffic jams and prompted Palestinian drivers to phone others to warn them not to use that road and to find alternative routes.
The Israeli military and security authorities have been harassing Kifl Hares residents and restricting their movement for several weeks in response to what they claim to be stone-throwing attacks carried by local young men.
