Israeli barriers and roadblocks isolate West Bank village of Sinjil
Israeli forces have surrounded the West Bank village of Sinjil with earth mounds, metal fences and road closures, cutting off its main routes.
A team visited Sinjil in the occupied West Bank and documented Israeli-installed earth mounds, metal barriers and road closures that block all primary entrances. Residents report that the restrictions make everyday travel difficult and potentially hazardous, effectively isolating the community from surrounding areas.
