Israeli forces close entrances to Bethlehem and conduct raid in Al-Dawha

Israeli forces closed several entrances to Bethlehem Governorate and shut down the “Container” military checkpoint on Tuesday evening, following an alleged ramming attack attempt on “Tunnel Road.” The closures affected access to Qabr Hilweh, Al-Fardis, Marah Rabah, and the southern and eastern entrances to Bethlehem and Al-Khader. Forces later raided Al-Dawha, but no arrests or home searches were reported. Such movements and checkpoint closures frequently disrupt daily life for Palestinian residents in the occupied West Bank.
