Wafa reported that several roads in the Ramallah and Al-Bireh governorates were closed with concrete blocks early Tuesday, preventing movement towards Jericho and Nablus. The news agency informed that the military forces set up several checkpoints around Ramallah, the administrative headquarters of the Palestinian National Authority(PNA).
They also set up checkpoints in the strategic Jordan Valley, especially in Tayasir and Hamra.
The same happened at the southeastern entrance of Bethlehem, where there are long lines to enter and leave the city due to strict searches of vehicles and pedestrians.
Wafa warned that Israeli forces also closed the Jaba checkpoint in northeastern East Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, the troops continued their incursions into Palestinian areas, where scores of citizens were arrested.
