An Israeli army bulldozer accompanied by an armored personnel
carrier today attempted to dig trenches in the road that leads
from the Palestinian city of Nablus to the neighboring village
of Salem. This morning international activists and Palestinians
worked to remove roadblocks that had been placed by the military
on the road to Salem, obstructing Palestinian movement and blocking
the delivery of food and water.

on the road from Nablus to Iraq Bureen, opening the road to Palestinian
traffic and much needed water and delivery trucks.
