All roads to the desert in Sevahir town, in the southeast of occupied Jerusalem, were blocked by zionist gangs, the local reports said.

Yunus Jafar, a municipal councillor in the town of Sevahir, said in a press release that the occupiers blocked roads in the town of Sevahir, preventing Palestinian citizens living in the area from going to the Valley.

"It is a part of a policy that aims to increase pressure on Palestinians, to confiscate the lands in the valley and to separate the lands in the desert from Sevahir town," he said.

On the other hand, zionist occupation gangs built an illegal settlement on the Minzar Mount in the desert in 2019, he reminded. (ILKHA)
