Israeli occupation forces have blockaded the community of Khirbet al-Ras al-Ahmar in the northern Jordan Valley for a seventh consecutive day, Shehab Wire reported. The forces closed the sole access route to the area and tightened restrictions on the movement of residents and solidarity activists.
The siege follows a pattern of Israeli military operations in the Jordan Valley, a densely Palestinian territory where Israeli settlements and military zones have restricted Palestinian access and development.
