RAMALLAH, April 28, 2025, WAFA – On Monday, the Israeli occupation began erecting a barbed wire fence separating the towns of Sinjil and Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah, from the main road connecting the cities of Nablus and Ramallah.

Local sources reported that the occupation began erecting 4-meter-long iron poles on the lands of Sinjil, in preparation for the construction of a barbed wire fence extending approximately two kilometers along the main road, which it calls "Road 60."

This comes after bulldozing Palestinian lands in the area in recent months.

On August 20, the Israeli occupation issued a "military order" ordering the seizure of new lands to reroute the planned barbed wire fence along the towns of Turmus Ayya and Sinjil, north of Ramallah.

Last February, the occupation notified the seizure of 29 dunams of land from the two towns to build the fence, which prevents citizens from accessing the main road and, consequently, depriving them of access to their lands behind the fence.
