Israeli authorities have reportedly prevented Saturday residents of Hebron from driving through the Allenby Bridge and cross into Jordan, official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

Nazmi Mahana, a Palestinian Authority official, told WAFA that "Israeli Authorities barred Palestinian citizens from Hebron under the age of 50 to enter Jordan. The procedure was carried out this morning and as a result dozens of passengers returned to Hebron". (Roi Kais)
