Israeli occupation forces assaulted a Palestinian youth, Monday, and seized several vehicles at the main entrance of al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya village, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus.

Local sources reported that soldiers assaulted the young man as he attempted to cross the earth mound used by Israeli forces to block the village’s primary access street.

They added that the soldiers also confiscated the keys of several vehicles and detained them at the military roadblock.

It is worth mentioning that the main entrance of al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya has been sealed off by Israeli troops for the past six months.

This attack is part of a broader pattern of collective punishment and movement restrictions imposed on Palestinian communities across the occupied West Bank.

In related news, Israeli soldiers bulldozed a concrete wall in the village of Nabi Elias, east of Qalqilia, in the northern West Bank.

Munif Nazal, the official in charge of the colonies file in Qalqilia governorate, said Israeli bulldozers demolished a one-meter-high concrete wall that surrounded a four-dunum plot of agricultural land.

The land is privately owned by Palestinian citizens Nasser Sabri, Ahmad and Saleh Nazal, and Maysoun Hanoun, all from the city of Qalqilia.
