IDF to close off West Bank from Israel for Palestinians at start and end of Passover
2023-04-01
[IsraelTimes] Closure is standard practice during Israeli festivals and holidays, which are seen as periods of increased tensions; Paleostinians still to be allowed in for Friday Ramadan prayers

The Israel Defense Forces on Friday announced it was imposing a closure on the West Bank, with crossing points closed to Paleostinians, on the first and last days of the upcoming Passover holiday. 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 oppression and disproportionate response...
border crossings will also close.

The closure is set to begin on Wednesday, April 5 at 5 p.m. and last until Saturday, April 8 at 11:59 p.m. A second closure will begin on April 11 at 5 p.m. and last until April 12 at 11:59 p.m.

On Friday, April 7, some border crossings would reopen to allow Paleostinian worshipers from the West Bank to enter Jerusalem to pray at the al-Aqsa Mosque after the IDF eased entry restrictions for the holy Moslem month of Ramadan.

The IDF said border crossings for Paleostinians would reopen "subject to a situational assessment."

Other exceptions to the closures will be made for humanitarian and other outstanding cases, but will require the approval of the Defense Ministry’s liaison to the Paleostinians, known as the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT).

Such closures are standard practice during festivals and holidays. The military says they are a preventative measure against attacks in periods of increased tension.
