Israeli occupation forces established a military checkpoint at the entrance to Zaatra town, east of Bethlehem, on Saturday morning, Shehab Wire reported. The barrier was erected without advance warning and immediately began obstructing the movement of residents attempting to travel through the area.
Local sources confirmed that occupation forces halted and inspected vehicles at the checkpoint. The installation tightened restrictions on civilian passage and disrupted normal traffic flow in and out of the town. Residents faced delays and increased scrutiny as they attempted to move between Zaatra and surrounding areas.
