RAMALLAH, May 4, 2014 (WAFA) – The Israeli authorities on Sunday sealed off the border crossings with the West Bank and the Gaza Strip under the pretext of celebrating the anniversary of the establishment of Israel, reported Israeli sources.

The seal off, which includes al-Jalamah border crossing north of Jenin, is expected to continue until next Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Israeli army cordoned the village of Beit Fajjar, to the south of Bethlehem, and blocked the roads leading to the village with sand barriers, which hindered the traffic movement in and out of the village.
