On Monday, the Israeli occupation began erecting a barbed wire fence separating the towns of Sinjil and Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah, from the main road connecting the cities of Nablus and Ramallah.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces have begun erecting 4-meter-long iron poles on the lands of the town of Sinjil, in preparation for the construction of a barbed wire fence stretching approximately two kilometers along the main road they call "Route 60." This comes after bulldozing citizens' lands in the area in recent months.

On August 20, the Israeli occupation announced a "military order" to seize new land to reroute the planned barbed wire fence along the towns of Turmus Ayya and Sinjil, north of Ramallah.

Last February, the occupation authorities notified the seizure of 29 dunams of land from the two towns to build a fence that prevents citizens from accessing the main road, thus depriving them of access to their lands behind the fence.
