Israeli Occupation Forces seals of a road linking two Nablus villages

April 3, 2017
in Closure
جيش الاحتلال يغلق الطريق الواصل بين قريتي زواتا واجنسنيا بالسواتر الترابية

 

  • Violation: closing a road
  • Location:  north Nablus city
  • Date:  February 22, 2017
  • Perpetrators: Israeli Occupation Forces
  • Victims:  residents of the villages
  •  

Details:

Israeli Occupation Forces closed ,on February 22, 2017, the road linking Ijnisinya village to Zawata village with earth mounds. It should be noted that the road is considered the linking point and also serves the villages of Sabastiya area, connecting them to Nablus city. 

The occupation justified the closure on claims of "security purposes". Life of thousands of Palestinians got hindered as a result. Travelers and other citizens became obliged to take a substitute route that is longer and more fatiguing. It is reported that sealing off villages' entrances and closing roads is an Israeli policy to collectively harass and punish Palestinians. This methods was conducted since the aftermath of the second intifada of 2000.
