Bethlehem - Ma'an - Today, Monday, the Israeli occupation forces tightened their siege of the village of Husan, west of Bethlehem. Husan Village Council Director Rami Hamamra said that the occupation forces tightly closed all entrances to the village, especially the 'Al-Sharafa' and 'Al-Muteena' areas, and set up several military checkpoints in them, obstructing citizens' access to their homes in the village, as well as in the town of Nahalin and the village of Wadi Fukin. This forced them to take bumpy dirt roads. Hamamra added that the occupation forces forced shop owners in the 'Al-Sharafa' and 'Al-Muteena' areas to close them, in addition to preventing citizens from reaching the Abu Bakr Mosque in 'Al-Muteena' to perform prayers.
