Today, Wednesday, the Israeli occupation forces tightened their military measures at most of the entrances and exits of the governorates in the West Bank.

Local sources reported that the occupation tightened its measures around Ramallah, Al-Bireh, Jerusalem, Nablus, Hebron, Jericho and Tubas, as the occupation closed the Ein Siniya and Atara checkpoints, and continued to close the northern entrance to the city of Al-Bireh, while the vicinity of the city of Jerusalem witnessed stifling traffic crises after the occupation soldiers at the "Jabaa" checkpoint north of Jerusalem searched the vehicles leaving Ramallah towards the south, while the occupation closed the "Hamra" checkpoint east of Nablus in both directions connecting Nablus, Jericho and the Jordan Valley.

The sources indicated that the occupation closed the areas of Ras al-Joura, al-Fahs Dam, and al-Nashash in the Hebron Governorate, while the northern entrance to Jericho and the Anab checkpoint south of Tulkarm remain closed.

The Al-Murabba'a and Awarta checkpoints around the city of Nablus also witnessed a severe traffic crisis caused by the occupation soldiers' careful inspection of vehicles.

The occupation forces closed the Tayasir checkpoint east of Tubas city to the movement of citizens in both directions, returned their vehicles and prevented them from reaching their places of work in the northern Jordan Valley.

In the same context, Director of Education Azmi Balawneh said that about 130 teachers were unable to reach the schools in the northern Jordan Valley, and about 800 male and female students, some of whom are from distant camps, did not attend school because the education buses did not arrive to transport them to school due to the occupation’s measures.

The occupation forces also closed the Atouf gate, southeast of Tubas, to the movement of farmers.
