The Israeli army imposed a military siege on the town earlier this week, closed all access roads with dirt and checkpoints, and prevented people from entering or leaving the town.

The Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Yabad, southwest of Jenin, on Thursday, bulldozed a new road that connects the town with one of its suburbs, and raided the Yabad Electricity Authority building, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

The mayor of Yabad, Amjad Atatreh, told WAFA that the Israeli bulldozers destroyed and closed the new 200-meter-long street used by school and university students and farmers.
