Israel sets up checkpoint in S. Jenin

GAZA, June 13 (KUNA) -- Israeli forces set up a military checkpoint south of the northern West Bank city of Jenin on Saturday.
Local radio stations said that the checkpoint was set up between Oraba and Fahma towns in southern Jenin.
They added that Palestinian vehicles passing through were being stopped and searched, and identity cards of their passengers were being scrutinized.
Israeli press had recently reported the intent of the Israeli Army to allow Palestinians in the West Bank to move around with greater ease, apparently after coming under pressure from the US Administration. (end) mzt.ema KUNA 130928 Jun 09NNNN
