RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) informed the inhabitants of Bilin and Nilin villages in the Ramallah district that both their villages would be declared closed military zones as of next Friday till 17/8/2010 that is for six months in a renewed effort to block the peaceful marches against the separation wall.

Radio Israel said that tens of Israeli soldiers glued the military order in both villages at dawn Monday and included a map of the areas to be closed mainly between houses of the village and the separation wall.

The notifications said that none would be allowed to approach those areas starting from 8 am to 8 pm on Fridays unless they obtained special permits, and added that foreigners and Israelis should go out of both villages in this period.

The step was clearly meant to stop the weekly Friday processions against the racist separation wall with the participation of foreign and Israeli activists.
