Israeli occupation forces impose closure on Bethlehem
Palestine Information Center – March 8, 2020
BETHLEHEM – Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Thursday night closed off Bethlehem City in the West Bank at the pretext that a number of Palestinian citizens were diagnosed with coronavirus.
The IOF banned citizens from entering or leaving the city until further notice.
Local residents said that although there are infected people in both Bethlehem and the Israeli-controlled 1948 territories, stricter measures were taken in Bethlehem, which makes the IOF decision unclear.
