Israeli occupation forces today blocked the main entrance to the town of Azzun, east of Qalqilia city in the northern West Bank, to the Palestinian traffic, according to local sources.
They told WAFA that Israeli forces shut down the main entrance to the town with a metal gate, blocking the movement of the Palestinian traffic through the entrance.
According to the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, “Restricting movement is one of the main tools Israel employs to enforce its regime of occupation. Israel imposes restrictions on the movement of Palestinians within the West Bank, and travel between it and the Gaza Strip, into East Jerusalem, Israel, and abroad.”
“Israeli restrictions on Palestinians’ movement impose a life of constant uncertainty, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks or make plans, and frustrates the development of a stable economy,” the group has said.
