Israeli occupation forces have closed the iron gate at the entrance to Atara, north of Ramallah, Wafa reports.

A Wafa correspondent said that the occupation forces closed the main entrance to Atara gate, forcing residents to take long routes.

The occupation forces also set up a checkpoint near the “Halmish” colony, located on Nabi Saleh lands, and stopped a number of vehicles, searched them, and checked the IDs of their passengers, impeding the movement of residents.
