| [IsraelTimes] Closures, initially imposed over Memorial and Independence Days, were extended after deadly Elad attack; IDF bars residents of Rummanah, hometown of attackers, from entering Israel "Following an assessment of the security situation, it has been decided this evening (Sunday) to open the crossings in the Judea and Samaria area, except for residents of the village of Rummanah — where the Lions of Islam who committed the terror attack in Elad lived — in the Jenin district," said a statement from COGAT, Israel’s military liaison to the Paleostinians. The statement said that "until further notice, the Erez Crossing will remain closed to passage for residents of the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... Strip." However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... it noted that "passage will be permitted only in humanitarian, medical, and exceptional cases and subject to approval from the head of COGAT." The situation will be reassessed later in the week, the statement said. The shutdown in the West Bank had only applied to Paleostinians. Checkpoints used by Israelis and foreign nationals to enter and exit the West Bank remained open as usual. Most of the Paleostinians impacted are those who hold permits to work in Israel. About 140,000 West Bank Paleostinians work in Israel and in Israeli settlements. Another 20,000 Paleostinians from Gaza hold permits to work in Israel. On Thursday, two Paleostinians hacked three Israelis to death with axes in Elad, a majority ultra-Orthodox city in central Israel, Israeli officials said. Police apprehended them earlier Sunday after a long manhunt. |
