Bethlehem: A settler closes a main road, and others damage a vehicle and smash its windows.

A settler closed a main road in the town of Tuqu', southeast of Bethlehem, on Tuesday.

A local source reported that a settler brought a bulldozer and blocked a main road in the "Khirbet al-Deir" area, on the main road leading to the town of Janata and the center of Bethlehem, with cement blocks. He noted that the occupation forces later sealed it off by placing large rocks.

The source added that the road is used by those coming from the southern region of Bethlehem Governorate, as well as from Hebron Governorate, when the occupation forces close the main entrance to the town.

In the same context, settlers damaged the tires of a vehicle and smashed its windows in the town of Al-Khader.

Local sources reported that a number of settlers punctured the tires of a vehicle belonging to farmer Omar Mohammed Rashid Salah and smashed its windows while he was on his farmland in the Wadi al-Ghuwait area, south of the town.

She added that settlers' attacks on farmers in Al-Khader continue, preventing them from accessing their lands and even threatening to kill them.
