Israel plans to shut all West Bank crossings during its upcoming election. The military also keeps a strict lockdown in place for Hebron.
Israel will shut down all land crossings into the occupied West Bank soon. This action coincides with the upcoming general election in the country.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army released an official statement on Sunday morning. They explained the new travel restrictions for the region.
Next, the military will stop Palestinian workers from entering most West Bank areas. This specific ban starts on Sunday and lasts through Monday.
After that, officials will enforce a full closure of all crossings. This total shutdown happens on Tuesday. That day is the official national voting day.
Additionally, the military continues its strict lockdown of Hebron. This city remains under tight security measures right now.
Also, the army maintains these closures to manage security during the election period. These rules impact many people living in the territory.
Finally, the government expects the crossings to remain shut during the entire voting process. Citizens and workers must prepare for these travel changes.
As a result, daily movement across the West Bank will face significant disruption. The military will strictly control access throughout this period.
Still, the ongoing lockdown in Hebron adds to the current security situation. Authorities continue to monitor the region closely until the election concludes.
