JORDAN VALLEY, June 6, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces on Friday evening tightened the movement restrictions at al-Hamra checkpoint in the northern Jordan Valley, according to local sources.
They said that the occupation forces tightened access restrictions at the checkpoint, stopping Palestinian-registered vehicles, inspecting passengers’ ID cards, and preventing direct free passage of Palestinians between the West Bank and the Jordan Valley in both directions.
The occupation forces have tightened military measures across the occupied West Bank hours after the release of 90 Palestinian prisoners as part of the Gaza ceasefire went into effect in January, dismembering and isolating cities and governorates from one another using military gates, barriers, and concrete blocks.
The Israeli military measures are in parallel with ongoing attacks by Israeli colonists across the West Bank to terrorize Palestinians and displace them from their lands to seize them and build illegal Jewish colonies that separate Palestinian communities.
Israeli severely restricts Palestinians’ freedom of movement within the occupied West Bank through a complex combination of approximately 898 fixed and flying checkpoints and gates, including 18 gates that have been installed since the start of 2025 and 146 others installed in the aftermath of October 7, 2023, settler-only roads, over 200 military bases, and various other physical obstructions.
