The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) started on Monday night to put in place a closure of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip for the Yom Kippur holiday.
The military closure of the West Bank and Gaza may last until Wednesday-Thursday midnight as part of tight security measures across the occupied Palestinian territories intended to protect Jewish settlers during their religious celebrations.
In a statement the Israeli army said it would reopen Gaza crossing and end its closure of the West Bank according to its assessment of the security situation.
