BETHLEHEM: Israeli occupation forces Wednesday evening erected a checkpoint in the al-Khader town, south of the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem, according to a local source. He said that the occupation soldiers set up a checkpoint at the eastern entrance of the town, inspecting Palestinian-registered vehicles and checking passengers' ID cards. Israel severely restricts Palestinians' freedom of movement through a complex combination of over 100 fixed checkpoints, flying checkpoints, settler-only roads and various other physical obstructions. Closures besides other measures, taken under the guise of security, are intended to entrench Israel's 57-year-old military occupation of the West Bank and its settler colonial project which it enforces with routine and frequently deadly violence against Palestinians.
