BETHLEHEM, July 10, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces closed all entrances to the southern West Bank province of Bethlehem on Thursday, significantly tightening restrictions on Palestinian movement in the area.

According to WAFA correspondent, the Israeli military blocked access to the city and deployed hundreds of soldiers at major road junctions. The closures and heightened restrictions have prevented many residents from reaching their homes and workplaces.

Eyewitnesses reported long delays and growing tensions as movement in and out of the city came to a near standstill.
