RAMALLAH: Dozens of Israeli colonists blocked the northern entrance to the city of Al-Bireh in the occupied West Bank this afternoon.

Local sources reported that the colonists, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, gathered outside the colonial settlement of Beit El, illegally built on Palestinian lands north of the city.

The colonists raised Israeli flags and prevented Palestinian vehicles from passing through.
