Israeli forces close several entrances to Bethlehem

Israeli occupation forces closed several entrances to Bethlehem governorate in the southern West Bank on Sunday evening. The closures affected the Al-Sadr, Al-Iskanat and Nassar entrances in Beit Jala to the west, as well as the eastern entrance to the town of Al-Khader to the south. Bethlehem has seen repeated closures of its main access points by Israeli forces, including the installation of military checkpoints and the blocking of main and secondary roads. These measures restrict the movement of Palestinians and hinder their ability to travel, affecting daily life and economic activity.
