Bethlehem: Israeli occupation forces on Thursday closed the main entrance to the town of Za'tara, east of Bethlehem.
According to Palestine news and Information Agency, local sources reported that the forces shut down the main entrance with cement cubes. This entrance connects Za'tara to the nearby town of Beit Sahour and the Bethlehem city center.
The entrance has reportedly been closed with an iron gate since October 2023, although it has occasionally been reopened intermittently.
