Israel tightens lockdown on al-Khalil

‘Israeli forces have intensified a lockdown on the occupied West Bank’s most populous city of al-Khalil (Hebron) and surrounding villages after two Israelis were killed in separate attacks allegedly carried out by Palestinian attackers.
On Sunday, Israeli military forces closed the checkpoint linking the town of Sa’ir, located 8 kilometers (5 miles) northeast of al-Khalil, and the tomb of Prophet Jonas (Nabi Yunus), allowing the local residents to pass through only after they have had their identity cards and/or vehicles checked.
Israeli soldiers also carried out a series of operations across al-Khalil and arrested six people.’
