RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Israeli army has imposed a strict siege on the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank since Oct. 11, blocking the city’s entrances with military checkpoints and earth mounds, while Israeli drones constantly hover over the city.

The siege came in the wake of a shooting attack carried out by the Lion’s Den group near Nablus in which an Israeli soldier was killed Oct. 11.
