TOP News Brief
Israeli occupation forces closed off the Kassarat neighborhood adjacent to Qalandia refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank with earthen barriers, the Ma'an news agency reported. The blockade restricted vehicle and pedestrian movement in and out of the residential area.
The closure marked the latest in a series of access restrictions imposed by Israeli military forces on Palestinian communities in the occupied territories. Earthen barriers and checkpoints have become routine tools for controlling movement between neighborhoods and refugee camps throughout the West Bank.
