Local sources reported that the Israeli occupation forces blocked off certain pathways to the Palestinian village of Deir Sharaf, situated to the west of Nablus in the West Bank, with mounds of dirt on Sunday.

Earth mounds created by Israeli bulldozers were placed to prevent Palestinian vehicles from entering or leaving the village.

Meanwhile, Yossi Dagan, the leader of the Israeli Settlement Council in the northern West Bank, and Zvi Sukkot, a far–right Israeli Member of Parliament, put up a satellite office on the main street in the town of Huwwara, which is south of Nablus.
