Israeli forces have effectively turned the Palestinian town of Biddu into military barracks, according to Al Jazeera English. The blockade has restricted movement in and out of the town, limiting residents' access to essential services and surrounding areas.
The siege follows a pattern of increased Israeli military operations in Palestinian territories, with Biddu now subject to checkpoints and movement restrictions that have transformed daily life for its inhabitants.
