Israeli Army Closure Cuts Off Last Access Road to West Bank Village, Residents Say
Anadolu Agency reports the closure of the sole route to Khirbet Ras al-Ahmar has isolated 47 Palestinian families, hindering delivery of food and livestock feed.
The Israeli army has closed the last remaining access road to the West Bank village of Khirbet Ras al-Ahmar, isolating dozens of Palestinian families, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
A resident of the village told Anadolu that the closure has cut off Khirbet Ras al-Ahmar from surrounding areas, affecting 47 Palestinian families who live there.
The resident said the closure has hindered the delivery of basic necessities to the village, including food supplies and feed for livestock, on which many families in the area depend.
Anadolu Agency did not report an official statement from the Israeli military regarding the reason for the closure or its expected duration.
Khirbet Ras al-Ahmar is located in the northern Jordan Valley area of the occupied West Bank. Palestinian communities in the Jordan Valley have previously reported restrictions on movement imposed by Israeli authorities, according to earlier reporting by Anadolu Agency.
Further details on the circumstances surrounding the closure, including any response from Israeli authorities, were not immediately available.
