Israeli occupation forces established a military checkpoint at the southern entrance to Qalqiliya in the northern West Bank on Monday, Shehab Wire reported. The checkpoint immediately disrupted the movement of Palestinian civilians through the area.
Local sources confirmed the checkpoint's placement and documented the resulting restrictions on residents' ability to transit in and out of the city. The blockade affected passage at the city's main southern access point.
