Israeli bulldozers have destroyed the main road connecting the Dhinnaba neighbourhood to the town of Kafr al-Labad, east of Tulkarem in the northern West Bank, according to Wafa news agency.

Local sources told Wafa that the targeted road serves as the sole lifeline linking Tulkarem with Kafr al-Labad and runs alongside the town’s main water reservoir.

The road has become a critical route for residents trying to exit Tulkarem and access other West Bank governorates, including Nablus and Ramallah — especially after the Israeli military sealed off the city’s main entrances amid its ongoing military operations.

This move has severely obstructed the movement of residents and vehicles, forcing them to take long and indirect alternative roads and further exacerbating daily hardships.
