Dozens of Israeli settlers gathered on Tuesday evening at road junctions south of Nablus and Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, obstructing the movement of Palestinians.
Palestinian local sources said groups of settlers assembled at the entrances to several villages and towns south of Nablus, blocking traffic and preventing residents from moving freely.
In the southern Bethlehem area, security sources reported that dozens of settlers gathered at the Etzion and Efrat junctions and spread along Route 60, causing traffic disruption in the area.
The incidents come amid rising tensions across the West Bank and increased settler presence on main roads and around Palestinian communities.
