Entrance to northern West Bank town sealed shut by Israeli soldiers

Israeli occupation forces today sealed off the main entrance to Azzoun town, east of the northern West Bank city of Qalqiliya, according to witnesses.

They said the soldiers sealed off the entrance with a metal gate, forcing commuters to take longer routes to reach their destinations.

Israel severely restricts Palestinians’ freedom of movement through a complex of approximately 100 fixed checkpoints, flying checkpoints, settler-only roads and various other physical obstructions.
