NABLUS, Wednesday, June 26, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces today blocked several minor roads in the al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya village, south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that the occupation soldiers used bulldozers to seal off three minor roads in the village with earth mounds; one is used as an alternative access road for vehicles and the other two are used by farmers to access their cultivated lands.

He added that since October 2023, the occupation forces have blocked the main access road of the village and over 10 minor roads, and dug over 500-meter-lomg of the as-Sahel area in the village, forcing the villagers to take much longer roads to reach their destinations.

Israeli severely restricts Palestinians’ freedom of movement through a complex combination of over 100 fixed checkpoints, flying checkpoints, settler-only roads and various other physical obstructions.

Closures besides to other measures, taken under the guise of security, are intended to entrench Israel’s 57-year-old military occupation of the West Bank and its settler colonial project which it enforces with routine and frequently deadly violence against Palestinians.
