BETHLEHEM, October 27, 2011 (WAFA) – Israeli forces shut off the entire area of Um Rokba, an area south of the town of al-Khader, near the West Bank city of Bethlehem, declaring it a closed military zone, Palestinian security sources said Thursday.
They said Israeli soldiers patrolled all entrances of the area, setting up checkpoints and prevented Palestinians from entering or leaving the area.
A resident told WAFA that the army brought a bulldozer and what appears to be special explosives machine to the area.
The army prevented people from even looking out through their windows, he said.
More than 15 Israeli military vehicles and three ambulances stormed the area of Um Rokba late Wednesday night after a large explosion was heard followed by a heavy gunfire, according to witnesses.Palestine News & Info Agency - WAFA
