The Israeli occupation army on Friday announced that a security cordon will be set up around the West Bank and Gaza Strip starting early Tuesday for the Israeli legislative elections.
Hebrew website 0404 reported that the closure coincides with the Knesset elections.
The Israeli army said that Gaza crossings will be closed and only urgent medical cases will be allowed to pass after they obtain the approval of the so-called Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories.
Israel regularly imposes general closures on the West Bank and Gaza Strip and restricts the Palestinians’ movement especially during Jewish holidays.
