IOF Central Command chief General Roni Numa visited on Monday Har Adar illegal settlement west of occupied Jerusalem and met with its security coordinator to plan the lifting of the closure on Palestinian workers.
Numa’s visit came more than two weeks after the anti-occupation attack that was carried out at Har Adar gate and left three security guards dead and another injured.
The Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom reported that new security measures including erecting surveillance cameras have been recently taken at the gate.
However settlers at Har Adar settlement declared their strong rejection to any attempt to lift the ban on Palestinian workers threatening to protest against the plan.
In the wake of the anti-occupation attack on September 26 Israeli authorities barred Palestinian workers from entering Har Adar and pledged to make tight security measures at the checkpoint workers must pass through at the entrance to the settlement.
