Israel chokes West Bank movement amid Jewish holiday
Israeli forces have stepped up restrictions on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, blocking roads, limiting movement and causing hours-long waits at checkpoints. The army has blocked entrances to several towns and villages with iron gates and earth mounds, including on secondary roads, since the Jewish holiday of Sukkot began on 25 September.
