HEBRON, December 14, 2025 (WAFA) – Colonists on Sunday evening staged a provocative march along the bypass road east of Hebron, prompting the closure of several neighborhoods in the city, as Israeli occupation forces barred Palestinian citizens from accessing the affected areas.

Local sources said dozens of extremist colonists marched from the Kiryat Arba colony, adjacent to the bypass road, towards the Ras area and the Jaabari neighborhood, where roads were closed to Palestinian residents under the pretext of Jewish celebrations.

The march took place as Israeli forces stepped up their siege on several neighborhoods in the Old City and around the Ibrahimi Mosque, severely restricting citizens’ movement and further stoking tensions in the area.
