Today, Friday, the Israeli occupation forces continued to close the entrances to the city of Jericho, its villages and camps, and prevented exit through them, for the sixth consecutive day.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces stationed at the military checkpoints set up at the main and secondary entrances to Jericho prevented citizens' vehicles from exiting through them, pursued dozens of vehicles and caused suffocating traffic jams, and fired sound bombs at the vehicles at the southern entrance, without any injuries being reported.

The same sources added that the occupation forces set up a checkpoint at the entrance to the village of Fasayel, north of Jericho, searched vehicles, checked citizens' IDs, and prevented non-residents of the village from passing through the checkpoint.

In the same context, a group of settlers stormed the summit of Mount Qarantul, southwest of Jericho, as part of their ongoing attacks on tourist and archaeological landmarks in the city.

Since the "ceasefire" in the Gaza Strip came into effect last Sunday, the Israeli occupation has tightened its military measures in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, by installing barriers and iron gates at the entrances to Palestinian villages and cities.

The number of military checkpoints and iron gates installed by the occupation in the West Bank reached 898 checkpoints and gates, including 18 iron gates installed by the occupation since the beginning of this year 2025, and (146) iron gates installed by the occupation after October 7, 2023, according to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission.
