Israeli forces Wednesday sealed off the entrance to the Deir Abu Mashal village, northwest of Ramallah city.

WAFA correspondent said that Israeli soldiers set up a checkpoint at the entrance to the village, obstructing the entry and exit of vehicles.

Soldiers also set up a roadblock at the entrance to Nabi Saleh village, thoroughly checking ID cards of passengers and forcing some to take detours.

Witnesses said they saw long queues of vehicles waiting for Israeli soldiers to inspect them and allow them to pass.

The village has been a scene of confrontations between Israeli forces and Palestinians as the latter continue to stage anti-wall and settlement rallies almost every Friday.
