RAMALLAH, June 14, 2025 (WAFA) – For the second consecutive day, Israeli occupation forces have imposed military restrictions across the West Bank, tightening movement through widespread road closures and checkpoint barricades.
In Ramallah and Al-Bireh, Israeli forces intensified their presence at all major entry and exit points. Military checkpoints were re-established at key junctions, including the entrance to Rawabi, and the iron gates at Ein Siniya and Atara were closed. Access to northern Al-Bireh and the eastern entrance of Al-Taybeh was also blocked, effectively cutting off the governorate from the rest of the West Bank.
In Jericho, Israeli troops continued to restrict access to and from the city via all main and secondary checkpoints surrounding it.
Moving to Nablus, the Israeli army set up additional checkpoints around the city, with near-total closures reported at Deir Sharaf, the southern checkpoints of Al-Murabba’a and Awarta, and the eastern gate of Beit Furik. The southern checkpoints of Yatma, Aqraba, and Zaatara were also heavily restricted.
In the Jordan Valley, Tubas Governorate experienced intensified closures at the Tayaseer and Hamra checkpoints for the second day. Local reports indicated these closures have been frequent for more than two years, with soldiers routinely turning back vehicles and pedestrians.
In Salfit, the Israeli army sealed the northern entrance to the city and blocked access to several surrounding villages including Bruqin, Qarawat Bani Hassan, Haris, Kifl Haris, Deir Istiya, Kafr ad-Dik, Yasuf, and Marda, effectively cutting them off from main roads.
In Qalqilya, the occupation forces continue to close the eastern entrance to the city of Qalqilya, along with the entrances to the villages east of the city—Nabi Elias, Imatin, and Al-Funduq-Hajjah—through iron gates. Israeli forces reportedly fired live ammunition at anyone attempting to approach the checkpoints on foot.
In Hebron, Israeli troops enforced strict closures at all checkpoints leading into and out of the city, barring residents from entering or exiting surrounding towns and villages.
