The Israeli army erected a tight checkpoint on the town of Azzoun east of Qalqilya from the north, known as the entrance to the gate and overlooking the bypass road No. 55 that the settlers use in their daily movement back and forth towards their settlements and the occupied cities within 48.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that the Israeli soldiers deliberately obstructed the traffic through careful inspection, photographing vehicles with the driver´s card, and taking the passengers´ phone numbers.
