For the second day in a row, Israeli forces continue to impose arbitrary measures at their military checkpoints at the entrances and exits of governorates in the occupied West Bank, closing most gates to villages and towns.
In the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, Israeli forces tightened their military measures at the entrances to the cities of Ramallah and al-Bireh, and several areas within the governorate, by setting up military checkpoints and closing gates, according to the official Palestinian news agency, Wafa.
