Today, Wednesday, the Israeli occupation forces continued the siege of the town of Ya`bad, southwest of Jenin, for the second day, and closed all entrances leading to it, in addition to closing the Barta'a and "Dotan" military checkpoints.

Local sources said that the occupation forces closed all roads leading to the town of Ya`bad with dirt mounds, raided a number of homes and shops, and seized surveillance cameras.

In the same context, the occupation forces arrested the released prisoner, Ahmed Jawad Abu Bakr, after they raided his family's house and destroyed its contents.

The occupation forces also arrested five young men from the town of Ya`bad, and interrogated them in Al-Jalama camp, before releasing them at a later time.

Several neighborhoods of the town of Ya`bad witnessed clashes between young men and the occupation soldiers last night, without any injuries being reported.

In the same context, settlers deployed this morning, in the plain of the town of Ya`bad, chasing farmers and preventing them from working on their lands, while preventing workers from reaching their workplaces inside the lands of 1948, through the Barta'a military checkpoint.

In the same context, the spokesman for the Ministry of Education, Sadiq Al-Khadour, said that despite the occupation’s closure of the town, the high school exam for this day will be held as planned, and the necessary arrangements will be made to reinforce the observers or provide replacements in case the observers are unable to arrive. For the halls, and in the event that some students are unable to reach the examination halls, the cases will be counted with the start of the examination, and measures will be taken that take into account their conditions and interests.
