Israeli occupation forces close Jordan valley

Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) has installed several roadblocks and closed Highway 90 leading to illegal settlements in the occupied Jordan Valley of the West Bank, following the killing of an Israeli settler. Aref Daraghma, head of the Wadi Al-Maleh Local council in the Jordan Valley, stated that the army closed all roads leading to the Jordan valley, including Taiaseer and Al-Hamra roadblocks. Daraghma added that the army also installed several temporary roadblocks on a number of minor roads linking between Palestinian communities in the area, and installed a roadblock at the northern entrance of the northern West Bank city of Nablus. IOF stopped and searched hundreds of Palestinian vehicles, and interrogated the residents while inspecting their ID cards.
