The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continued for the sixth consecutive day to impose tight security measures on movement of Palestinian citizens on roads near the villages and towns of northwestern Ramallah.
According to local sources the IOF shut down the road barriers on the main roads leading to villages and towns in the northwest of Ramallah set up new checkpoints and obstructed the movement of Palestinian citizens and their vehicles.
Such Israeli restrictions on movement always cause a heavy build-up of traffic on the roads especially when citizens go to and come from their workplaces and schools.
The villages and towns affected by these Israeli measures are Beit Rima Nabi Saleh Deir Ghassana Deir Nidham Aboud and Kafr Ein (all in Ramallah) as well as Qirawa Kafr ad-Dik and Burqin in western Salfit.
