The Israeli occupation forces closed the northern entrance to the city of Salfit on Friday evening.

Local sources reported that the occupation closed the northern entrance to Salfit, the iron gate erected near the entrance to the town of Qarawet Bani Hassan, and the entrance to the town of Deir Ballut, west of Salfit.

Since the "ceasefire" in the Gaza Strip came into effect on January 19, the Israeli occupation has tightened its military measures in the West Bank, 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.
