Days of Palestine – Hebron
Israeli occupation forces notified Tuesday, August 23, 2022, Palestinian residents of the villages of Jinba and al-Markaz, and Bedouin communities in Masafer Yatta, in the South Hebron Hills, that movement in and out of these villages will not be allowed anymore, virtually isolating them from the outside world, according to a local activist.
The activist in the anti-settlement committees in the south of Hebron, Ratib Jabour, said that the occupation forces handed people in these communities notices informing them not to move or enter and leave these areas, threatening to impose penalties on those who do not comply with the decision.
The occupation measure will prevent interaction between families living in the villages of Masafer Yatta and other areas as the notices threatened to seize any vehicle moving in the area, interrogate people moving in the area and fine them if they do not comply with the military order.

The Israeli occupation forces have intensified its checkpoints and closure of roads in Masafer Yatta since the Israeli High Court gave it the greenlight in May to demolish the communities and expel more than 1000 of their residents under the pretext of turning the area into a military training zone.
