Jewish settlers, backed by Israeli occupation forces, closed the main road linking southern Al-Khalil villages to northern areas of the district on Saturday.
The Israeli radio claimed that the road was closed after suspecting a strange object on that road that is close to Beit Hagai settlement. Traffic came to a standstill and long queues of vehicles including commercial trucks were seen for hours.
Meanwhile, IOF soldiers stormed the home of a wanted Palestinian, suspected of affiliation with the armed wing of Hamas, in Dura town south of Al-Khalil.
Quds Press said that the soldiers broke into the home of Munir Al-Huroub at a late night hour on Friday, questioned his family members, and searched the house.
Huroub has been wanted for the IOF since 1996 when the IOF tried to arrest him but failed and he went out of sight since then.
