JERUSALEM: This morning, Israeli occupation forces closed the entrance to the town of Al-Eizariya, east of occupied Jerusalem, leading to significant traffic disruptions in the area.

Local sources reported that the closure resulted in a severe traffic jam for dozens of vehicles coming from the southern West Bank and nearby villages.

Over the last months, Israeli occupation forces have been imposing similar measures across the occupied West Bank, including the use of iron gates and earth barriers at the entrances to various towns and villages.
