Hundreds of Palestinian families remained stranded inside their vehicles for hours at the Atara checkpoint north of Ramallah due to tightened Israeli restrictions, Middle East Eye reported. The checkpoint, which controls movement in the area, imposed the measures that prevented families from proceeding through.
The incident reflects ongoing constraints on Palestinian movement within the occupied West Bank, where Israeli military checkpoints regulate transit between cities and towns.
