Palestinians, especially workers take the Irtah passing point every day to reach areas behind the green line. The Point was closed between 2001 until 2020 , but was reopened later for workers.
A number of citizens sat up kiosks near by the passing point to make some money for their families. However, the occupation forces demolished them on the pretext that they are close to the Greenline.
