These forces also set up a military checkpoint at the eastern entrance to the city of Qalqilia, detained Palestinian vehicles, and checked their passenger ID cards, impeding the movement of citizens to and from the city.
In the Jordan Valley, Israeli forces tightened their military measures at the Hamra checkpoint on Sunday.
