RAMALLAH, April 12, 2012 (WAFA) – Four days after closing it with cement blocks, Israel Thursday reopened the northern entrance to al-Ram, a town south of Ramallah following intervention from the Palestinian department of civil affairs, according to a statement.
Israel closed the entrance Sunday under the pretext Palestinians throw stones at Israeli military vehicles in the area preventing as a result cars from entering or leaving the town through its northern entrance.
The town mayor, Sarhan Salaymeh, had described the closure as collective punishment.
