No one allowed in or out of S Bethlehem town, including residents and journalists, 20 arrests

Image Israeli forces stormed the southern West Bank town of Beit Fijar on Tuesday morning. As of this afternoon they have arrested at least 20 people.

Palestinian security sources told PNN that “a substantial military force of the Israeli occupation army stormed the hours since dawn today, Tuesday, the town of Beit Fijar, in the West Bank’s southern Bethlehem.”

The sources went on to tell PNN the Israeli forces “transformed a four-story apartment building into a military barracks following the expulsion of its inhabitants.”

People were thrown from their homes and it is unclear what is the motive of the Israeli forces.

The same Palestinian security sources told PNN that the Israelis imposed curfew on the town and sealed off all entrances, preventing citizens from entering or leaving.

Journalists crowded outside the town in an attempt to cover the attack, but no one is being allowed in.
