JENIN, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) forced yesterday and today Palestinian children and school students in Daher Al-Maleh village, west of Jenin city, to undergo strict search procedures before allowing them to pass through the iron gate, which is considered the only entrance to their village.

Villagers told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that Israeli soldiers at the gate asked the children to undergo an electronic check first if they wanted to cross the gate, but the children refused and the gate was closed.

They affirmed that dozens of children were prevented from going to their schools and kindergartens after the soldiers shut down the gate, adding that the families and villagers are electronically checked every time they want to cross this gate.

They also said that the village have been under tight blockade since years and encircled by the segregation wall and settlements.
