The Israeli occupation forces sealed off the main entrances to the villages of Jinba and al-Markaz, Masafer Yatta, to the south of the AlKhalil, in the West Bank.

Masafer Yatta communities are already threatened with displacement.

Local sources said Israeli army closed the entrances to Jinba and al-Markaz with dirt mounds and denied the Bedouin community access out of and into the area. Movement is now only allowed through the iron gates installed in the area.

A few days earlier, the Israeli military threatened to seize any vehicle circulating in the area.

Over 1,000 Masafer Yatta residents are facing the threat of forced displacement from eight communities after the Israeli High Court gave the army the green line in May to evacuate the villages and displace their residents under the claim of turning that area into a firing zone and a military training area.
