Israeli forces close checkpoint southwest of Jenin

JENIN July 28, 2017 (WAFA) –Israeli forces Friday continued to close Mavo Dotan military checkpoint, located to the southwest of Jenin in the northern West Bank for six days in a row, said a local source.

Mayor of Ya’bed Samer Abu Baker said Israeli forces continued to close the checkpoint from 9:00 pm to 4:00 am, obstructing the movement of thousands of Palestinian merchants and workers between Yabaad and Jenin and Tulkarem districts.

He added Israeli forces also closed alternative dirt roads with earth mounds and concrete blocks and chased Palestinians who attempt to take these roads, further restricting their movement.
