The Israeli occupation forces have installed a new iron gate between the villages of Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

The Al-Baydar Organization for the Defense of Bedouins and Targeted Villages reported that today the occupation forces set up an iron gate on one of the vital passageways connecting the villages of Masafer Yatta. This move will restrict residents’ movement and increase their daily suffering.

It stressed that this step is part of a systematic policy aimed at isolating Palestinian communities from one another and depriving residents of their freedom of movement, as well as access to their lands and sources of livelihood.
