Palestinian students from Yabad were not able to leave the town and take the final exams, tawjihi, in the nearby city of Jenin.

For the second day in a row, the Israeli occupation forces imposed a siege on the town of Yabad, near the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, and shut down the two nearby military checkpoints, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

Local sources told WAFA that Israeli soldiers also raided several homes and shops in the town and seized surveillance cameras.

Yabad mayor Amjad Atatra said that because of the Israeli closure, Palestinian students from Yabad were not able to leave the town and take the final exams, tawjihi, in the nearby city of Jenin.
