NABLUS, January 26, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces stopped an ambulance from Qaryut village, south of Nablus, today while it was transporting emergency cases near the Al-Sawiya junction, according to local sources.

Bashar Qaryouti, the ambulance officer, reported that Israeli soldiers stationed at a checkpoint at the junction prevented the vehicle from continuing its route. They seized the crew's identification cards and the vehicle's keys, despite the presence of urgent medical cases inside the ambulance.

Qaryouti called on human rights and humanitarian organizations to intervene and protect medical teams, holding the Israeli forces responsible for the patients' lives. He expressed concern that the soldiers showed no regard for human life in their actions.

The Israeli occupation military has imposed a blockade on several villages and towns in the Nablus Governorate, setting up numerous military checkpoints at the entrances to several communities in the southern part of the area. The forces have also closed multiple gates erected at entrances to several villages, further restricting the movement of local residents.
