TULKARM, January 23, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces closed the Jabara military checkpoint at the southern entrance of Tulkarm this evening, Thursday.
According to eyewitnesses, as reported by WAFA correspondent, Israeli forces stationed a military vehicle near the checkpoint, accompanied by infantry soldiers, and prevented Palestinian vehicles from entering or leaving the city.
Since the ceasefire in Gaza took effect last Sunday, Israeli occupation authorities have intensified movement restrictions across the West Bank. This has included setting up checkpoints and installing iron gates at the entrances to Palestinian villages and cities.
The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission reports that the number of military checkpoints and iron gates installed by the Israeli forces in the West Bank has risen to 898. Of these, 18 gates have been installed since the beginning of 2025, and 146 gates have been set up following October 7, 2023.
