Israel says it thwarted 'terror attack,' and other Middle East developments

Israeli authorities announced that security forces thwarted a planned attack against civilians in the West Bank, resulting in the killing of two gunmen. Following the incident, the Prime Minister's Office issued a directive on Friday instructing the military to close the West Bank.

The developments in the West Bank are part of a broader series of events and security measures unfolding across the Middle East. The closure order directly impacts movement within the territory where the thwarted attack took place.
