WEST BANK, Wednesday, April 26, 2023 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Wednesday tightened their military restrictions on several roads connecting the occupied West Bank cities and areas.

In Nablus, the forces closed the entrance to the village of Burqa and its nearby areas and some bypass roads leading them as settlers gathered in the area, according to Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors settlement activists in the northern West Bank.

Meanwhile in Ramallah, the soldiers blocked a main road leading to the city.

Security sources told WAFA that the Israeli forces stopped Palestinian vehicles and prevented them from entering the vital road that connected Ramallah and Nablus.

The sources said that the forces raided Ramallah’s village of Atara, and detained a 33-year-old Palestinian after raiding his house. He was released later.

Yesterday, Israeli forces blocked most roads around and leading to Ramallah following a shooting attack at Israeli settlers north of the city injuring one.

They said the forces set up checkpoints around the city, stopped and checked cars, and caused long lines of cars waiting to enter or leave Ramallah.
