The director of the Office of the Wall and Settlement Resistance Authority in Bethlehem Governorate, Hassan Brijiyeh, said that the occupation has tightened its closure on the governorate since the seventh of this month with the start of the aggression on the Gaza Strip, by erecting 73 military barriers and stone and earth berms.

He pointed out that there are 26 dirt berms that close the side and agricultural roads that open to the main and bypass roads.

Brijiyeh said: This led to the lack of communication between the Palestinian communities and the lack of citizens’ access to their agricultural lands, while at the same time working to connect the colonial communities to each other and facilitate the movement of the occupation forces and colonists, an embodiment of the apartheid system, especially since the colonialists are now exploiting the prevailing conditions to control More private lands classified as C, and the displacement of farmers from them.
