The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Thursday evening cracked down on Palestinian civilians at Umm al-Rayhan checkpoint set up south of Jenin province.
A PIC news correspondent said Israeli soldiers deployed at Umm al-Rayhan checkpoint in the northern occupied West Bank banned Palestinians from passing through the area and subjected them to intensive questioning.
The Israeli patrols further ordered the Palestinians who attempted to cross the checkpoint to retrace their steps and leave the area until they are given green light to free movement.
For hundreds of Palestinians living in Umm al-Rayhan and Dhahr al-Malih villages isolated behind Israel’s apartheid wall Umm al-Rayhan checkpoint is the only passageway.
