Israeli occupation forces closed the main road connecting the town of Tammoun to the village of Atouf, south of Tubas, using dirt berms, Wafa reports.

Local sources reported that Israeli bulldozers erected the earth mounds across the road, significantly hindering residents’ ability to travel and access vital work locations in the area. The closure of this crucial route has created further obstacles for local residents trying to go about their daily activities.

The roadblock comes amid a broader Israeli military offensive in Tammoun and the nearby Al-Far’a refugee camp, which began earlier today.
