The Israeli occupation forces closed the Old Town in Hebron, occupied West Bank, and denied citizens access to their homes and businesses in the area.

The occupation forces placed an iron barrier on the entrance to the Old Town after ordering the owners of the shops to shut it down, and prevented the passing residents from moving and forced them to wait at gunpoint, in order to protect a provocative march organized by settlers on the occasion of the so-called Jewish "satire."

It also assaulted journalists and dropped toxic gas bombs to prevent them from documenting violations against citizens.
