JERUSALEM: The Israeli occupation forces tightened their military measures on Monday at the checkpoints surrounding the occupied city of Jerusalem.

Local sources reported that the occupation army obstructed students from reaching their schools as they passed through the Sheikh Saad military checkpoint east of the city.

The Shuafat and Hizma checkpoints northeast of the city also witnessed a traffic jam caused by the strict measures taken by the occupation soldiers.
