RAMALLAH, October 6, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Friday announced that the majority of roads that link between the West Bank cities of Ramallah and Nablus would be closed until the noon hours, under the pretext of securing the area for a marathon organised by Israeli settlers.

Israeli forces closed the major roads after deploying heavily in the area, under the pretext of securing settlers participating in the marathon, preventing Palestinian residents‘ movement in the area. Residents are forced to take long alternative detours through neighboring villages in order to reach services and livelihoods.
