Currently, soldiers carry out heavy security checks at the entrance and exit of the village. Villagers were also prohibited from going to their gardens in the afternoon.
According to MA's news, the villagers reacted to the constant introduction of new bans and stated that they were subjected to pressure from the soldiers who told them that they won’t be allowed to take out their animals until the ban was over.
The bans severely affect the daily lives of both villagers and the animals that are their source of income.
Villagers stated that the soldiers made an announcement from the village mosque on Thursday evening. "The soldiers stated that it is forbidden to go out of the village and graze the animals. We have been questioned for more than a month when entering and exiting the village. These prohibitions have damaged the psychology of our children."
