Increased Restrictions and Closures Disrupt Citizens' Movement Around Jerusalem

Jerusalem - Afaq News - The checkpoints spread around and inside the Jerusalem Governorate are witnessing a noticeable tightening of military procedures, which includes the checkpoints located between the towns and villages of the governorate, as well as the checkpoints that separate the suburbs of Jerusalem from the holy city, in addition to the checkpoints established at the entrances of the governorate and the roads linking it to other Palestinian governorates.

At times, these procedures reach a complete closure in front of the movement of citizens, coinciding with the installation of temporary military checkpoints in several areas, causing disruptions in movement and traffic congestion.

These tightening measures coincide with the Israeli authorities imposing a complete closure on the West Bank until next Saturday, under the pretext of what is called the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles.
