NNA - For nearly two weeks, the Israeli occupation forces have continued to tighten their military measures at military checkpoints around Nablus.

Local and security sources told WAFA that the occupation forces tightened the military measures at Deir Sharaf and Sarra checkpoints west of the city, and Al-Murabba checkpoint to the south, causing a severe traffic.

The same sources added that the occupation forces deployed some flying checkpoints at the entrances to villages and towns south of Nablus, and are searching vehicles and checking citizens' identities.

Since the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip came into effect on January 19, the Israeli occupation has tightened its military measures in the West Bank, by installing checkpoints and iron gates at the entrances to Palestinian villages and cities. ----WAFA
