Israeli forces have blocked the entrances to Madama, south of Nablus, restricting movement for more than 2,500 residents and disrupting access to hospitals, schools and olive groves. Residents say the army set up earthen barriers for security reasons, monitored attempts to leave and drove people back with sound grenades and tear gas.
