Israeli forces set up a military checkpoint at the western entrance to Al-Mughayyir village, northeast of Ramallah, on Sunday, restricting the movement of residents and vehicles, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

The checkpoint was established at the village's only access point, hindering travel into and out of the village.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces raided the town of Turmus Ayya, located in the northern part of the Ramallah governorate, deploying and maneuvering through several neighborhoods.

In Turmus Ayya, occupation forces initially set up a checkpoint for vehicles leaving the town on Sunday morning, before traffic flow returned to normal in both directions.

The forces then raided the town, positioning themselves at the "Martyrs' Roundabout" and near the Turmus Ayya Boys' School around 10:00 a.m.

They moved toward the western neighborhood, with a unit of the occupation police observed in the Salun neighborhood before heading toward the town center.

As of the time of the report, there were no accounts of injuries or detentions resulting from the incursion.
