In the West Bank village of Beit Iksa, located northwest of Jerusalem, Israeli forces have prevented around 30 Palestinians from accessing their homes for the second consecutive week, according to Wafa news agency. Mohammad al-Kiswani, a resident, stated that the forces are refusing to issue the special permits necessary for entry into the village.
Beit Iksa is separated from its surroundings by an Israeli military checkpoint and has long faced strict restrictions on the movement of its residents. Access to the village requires special permits and magnetic cards issued by Israeli authorities, while some residents have been denied entry under the pretext of a "security ban."
