The Israel Defense Forces has been preventing Palestinians from accessing Route 367 in the West Bank, a road that remains open to Israelis. This restriction is enforced through checkpoints along the route, with only residents of Jab'a and Khallet Sakariya, or those holding permits to work in nearby settlements, allowed to pass. The policy is particularly strict on weekends, when access for Palestinians is limited to those two villages. The military has confirmed these measures, citing security concerns and the need to maintain public order.
