Israeli forces have implemented a comprehensive closure of all West Bank crossings, according to Wafa news agency. This move comes amid tightened restrictions around the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, where roads and entrances to several towns and villages have been closed. The closure is set to last until Saturday, coinciding with the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.
Local sources reported that the entrance gate to Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah, was closed and residents were subjected to harassment. Additionally, entrances to Aboud, Nabi Saleh, Atara, and Taybeh were sealed, while military checkpoints were established at the entrances to Yabroud and Ein Sinyah.
