Salfit - Ma'an - The Israeli occupation forces continued to close the main entrance to the town of Derastiya, northwest of Salfit, with dirt berms, for the fourth week in a row, and prevented citizens from entering or leaving it. The mayor of Derastiya, Firas Dhiyab, said: Closing the main and only entrance to the town with dirt berms forces citizens to take long detours in order to reach their places of work. Dhiab pointed out that the closure came in response to the throwing of passing settlers' vehicles, according to the occupation army's claims, but the real goal is to pass the occupation's plans to restrict citizens and lack freedom of movement, in return, allowing the settlers to move as they wish. In turn, the Governor of Salfit, Major General Dr. Abdullah Kamil, the governorate and its security and official institutions always stand by our people. Pointing out that the occupation forces are constantly targeting our villages and towns, through various violations targeting the Palestinian presence, i gnoring all international conventions related to human rights, including the policy of closure and restricting freedom of movement, as the occupation controls the movement of citizens through 27 gates placed at the entrances to villages, towns and agricultural lands.
