On Tuesday evening, a Palestinian woman died after the army obstructed her transport to the hospital at the Beit Einun military roadblock, southeast of Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank.

According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, the woman, identified as Iman Mohammad Jaradat, 46, died as a direct result of the occupation’s policy of restricting the movement of citizens in the occupied West Bank.

Media sources said that the woman died when she was being transported from the Sa’ir Health Center to the Al-Mezan Hospital in Hebron for complex medical complications after suffering a stroke.

Sources added that the army denied the patient’s vehicle to pass through the Beit Einun military roadblock, northeast of Hebron, forcing her to wait for more than 20 minutes to be transferred to a second ambulance on the other side of the military roadblock.

The deceased is a married mother of six children, from the town of Sa’ir in the Hebron governorate.

In the same context, the Israeli forces have, for the third consecutive day, increased their military measures at most of the entrances and exits of all the governorates in the occupied West Bank.

Media sources said that the army continues to effectively isolate all the major cities in all governorates, including Tulkarem, Qalqilia, Tubas and the Jordan Valley, Jericho, Nablus, Salfit, Ramallah, and Jerusalem, and Hebron.

At the same time, the occupation continues, for a second day, to carry out a policy of destruction and terror against the population of the city of Jenin, its refugee camp, and surrounding areas.

According to recent statistics from the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, the number of Israeli military checkpoints and gates in the West Bank has risen to 898, including more than 173 iron gates that have been placed since the start of the aggression on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, and 17 since the beginning of this year.
