Israeli occupying forces have imposed a total lockdown on the occupied West Bank village of Yatta, after a resident was allegedly involved in a stabbing attack against an Israeli.
After the village was raided for a second time yesterday, all roads have been blocked and Palestinians were left unable to enter or exit the area without detailed security checks, according to Ma’an news agency.

Earlier this week Israeli forces stormed the house of 19-year-old Ismail Ibrahim Abu Aram in Yatta who is accused of stabbing an Israeli man in a supermarket in the city of Yibna.
Israel regularly closes entire Palestinian villages and towns following actual or alleged attacks, a policy which human rights groups have called “collective punishment”.
