Full closure on West Bank, Gaza

A full closure has been imposed on the West Bank and Gaza starting Thursday at midnight for the duration of the Yom Kippur holiday. The closure will be lifted on Defense Minister Ehud Barak's orders following a renewed security assessment after the holiday ends.

During the closure Palestinians will only be permitted to enter Israel for humanitarian reasons. International organization workers, lawyers, medical professionals, clergymen, and other populations will also be permitted entry, under the coordination of Israeli security forces and the Palestinian Authority.
