Israel to close West Bank crossings on election day as crackdown escalates
Middle East3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported15m ago
The Israeli Defense Forces have announced the closure of all land crossings between Israel and the West Bank for the duration of the upcoming parliamentary elections on Tuesday. These movement restrictions apply to Palestinian workers and are part of broader security measures currently being implemented by Israeli authorities.
This decision coincides with a large-scale military operation in the West Bank, particularly in Hebron, where a lockdown remains in effect. Recent reports indicate that ongoing security operations and violence in the region have resulted in the displacement of approximately 2,000 Hebron residents following attacks by Palestinian gunmen.
