Israeli forces today sealed off the entrances of al-Mughayyir village, east of the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, for the 14th consecutive day, according to security sources.
They said that that the gun-toting occupation soldiers closed the two main entrances to the village, preventing the villagers from entering and leaving it and forcing them to take long rough roads to reach their destinations.
Israeli severely restricts Palestinians’ freedom of movement through a complex combination of approximately 100 fixed checkpoints, flying checkpoints, settler-only roads and various other physical obstructions.
Closures besides to other measures, taken under the guise of security, are intended to entrench Israel’s 55-year-old military occupation of the West Bank and its settler colonial project which it enforces with routine and frequently deadly violence against Palestinians.
