Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has ordered a general closure of the occupied West Bank, effective from Sunday until the conclusion of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot on Saturday night. The measure restricts movement throughout the territory for the duration of the week-long festival.
Such closures are a standard security procedure implemented by Israeli authorities during major Jewish holidays. The directive mandates a temporary halt to transit between the West Bank and Israel, impacting both Palestinian residents and the regional security landscape.
