Israeli forces have closed the entrance to the village of Marda north of Salfit, in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports.

Local sources told the Wafa news agency that Israeli soldiers blocked the western and only entrance to the village, firing live ammunition at Palestinians who attempted to enter or exit.

No injuries were reported following the incident.

The eastern entrance to the village has been closed by Israeli forces for several months as Marda village has been subjected to repeated attacks and raids by Israeli forces.
