Israel’s military Thursday night sealed off the entrances to al-Arroub refugee camp, north of Hebron, according to local sources.
The soldiers closed the metal gate at the main entrance of the camp, preventing passage in both directions and stopping Palestinian commuters and inspecting their ID cards.
They also blocked the entrance of the metal gate at the main entrance of Beit Einun village, northeast of the city, following confrontations.
Israeli severely restricts Palestinians’ freedom of movement through a complex combination of approximately 100 fixed checkpoints, flying checkpoints, settler-only roads and various other physical obstructions.
Closures besides to other measures, taken under the guise of security, are intended to entrench Israel’s 55-year-old military occupation of the West Bank and its settler colonial project which it enforces with routine and frequently deadly violence against Palestinians.
