Saturday, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) forced Palestinians to stop work on rehabilitating the Carmel-Tawana road in Masafer Yatta in the West Bank, as reported by the Palestinian news agency WAFA.

The IOF detained workers and seized vehicles claiming work is located in Area C, which is under full IOF rule, according to the coordinator of the popular and national committees to resist the wall and settlement Ratib al-Jbour.

Notably, the Israeli Occupation does not allow Palestinians to establish developments in Area C, which makes up more than 60 percent of the West Bank.
