The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Monday deployed tents, concrete blocks and built up mounds of dirt and rocks near and at the northern entrance to the West Bank city of al-Bireh.

Social media activists, who circulated pictures of such military preparations on the internet, said the IOF was seemingly bracing for widespread West Bank unrest, which would be triggered by US president Donald Trump’s announcement on Tuesday of his plan known informally as “the deal of the century.”

The Israeli army has already put its forces on high alert and deployed six battalions across the occupied territories and along the Gaza border ahead of Trump’s reveal of his plan, according to an army radio report on Sunday.
