RAMALLAH, Saturday, August 3, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces today sealed off the entrances of a cluster of Palestinian villages and towns, north of the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, according to local sources.

They said that the occupation army closed down the entrances of the Sinjil town as well as the Abwein and Jiljilyya villages, denying villagers access to and out of their places of residence.

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

Closures besides 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.
