Since the start of the aggression against the Gaza Strip on October 7, the Israeli occupation forces have continued to tighten their military measures in the occupied West Bank governorates, by closing checkpoints and entrances to cities, towns and villages, and obstructing the movement of citizens.

In Qalqilya, the occupation forces set up a military checkpoint on the main Qalqilya-Nablus road, stopped vehicles, and checked the identities of passers-by, which led to the obstruction of traffic in the area. They also continue to close the two main entrances to the town of Azzun and Kafr Laqif, east of Qalqilya, with the iron gate, for a week, which Citizens are forced to take alternative, secondary routes to reach their destinations.

In Tubas, the occupation soldiers stationed at the Tayasir checkpoint in the east obstructed the movement of citizens heading to the northern Jordan Valley, by checking their personal identities, and detaining vehicles for a long period before allowing them to enter, causing a stifling crisis and delaying the arrival of students and teachers to schools in the Jordan Valley.

The checkpoint has witnessed suffocating crises and traffic obstruction every day for more than two weeks, causing delays in the arrival of employees, workers, and farmers to their workplaces in the Jordan Valley.

While the occupation forces continue to tighten their closure on Bethlehem Governorate, by closing the entrances to the western countryside, the town of Beit Fajjar, Marah Rabah, the northern entrance to Teqoua with iron gates, the Qabr Hilweh junction leading to the colonial road to Hebron with cement cubes, the western Beit Jala with an iron gate, and the entrance to Beit Housing. They toured with cement cubes, to Zaatara to the east with dirt mounds, and to Masjah in the town of Janata to the east with the iron gate.

The occupation soldiers also search citizens' vehicles and verify their identities, causing a stifling traffic crisis.

The settlers, protected by the occupation forces, also prevent farmers from reaching their lands to pick grapes and olives, and even steal them, as happened in the town of Al-Khader and in the Al-Makhrour area in the city of Beit Jala, west of Bethlehem.
