Israeli forces have continued their provocative and criminal actions against the Palestinian people in various areas of the West Bank. According to the Palestinian news agency "Wafa", Israeli forces stormed the "H Clinic" specialized hospital in Ramallah. The forces were heavily reinforced with military equipment and prevented vehicles from passing through.
The Israeli forces also continued to isolate the Al-Ras Al-Ahmar area, southeast of Tubas, by digging a trench and closing the entrances to it. The head of the Attouf and Al-Ras Al-Ahmar village council, Abdullah Basharat, stated that the Israeli forces have been taking measures to isolate the area for days by closing its entrances and digging a trench that prevents citizens and vehicles from moving in and out.
These measures, according to Wafa, hinder the movement of citizens and their access to their lands and properties, amid the continued Israeli aggression and actions against the residents of the area. Meanwhile, Israeli forces prevented dozens of teachers from reaching their schools in the northern Jordan Valley. The director of education in Tubas, Azmi Blawneh, stated that 104 teachers were unable to reach their schools due to the closure of the Israeli military checkpoints.
The closure of the checkpoints disrupted the educational process in six government schools and a kindergarten, which have around 1100 students. Israeli forces also set up two military checkpoints at the entrances to two villages in the Bethlehem governorate and stormed a town east of the governorate. According to Wafa, the forces set up a checkpoint at the main entrance to the village of Beitir and another at the entrance to the village of Wadi Fukin.
The forces stopped citizens' vehicles and hindered their movement. They also stormed the town of Dar Salah, east of Bethlehem, and roamed its streets with armored vehicles, without any arrests being reported. The entrances to villages and towns in the Bethlehem governorate are repeatedly subjected to military checkpoints and continued raids, which hinder citizens' movement and limit their access to their workplaces and schools.
Israeli forces also tightened their military measures on the entrances to villages and towns in the Ramallah and Al-Bireh governorate by closing several entrances and exits. According to sources, the forces closed all entrances and exits north of the city, including the military checkpoints of Atara, Ein Sinia, Al-Nabi Saleh, Aboud, and Rawabi.
The Israeli forces' actions have caused significant disruptions to the daily lives of Palestinians in the West Bank. The continued aggression and restrictions on movement have had a profound impact on the residents of the area.
