Hamas Thursday has decided to tighten restrictions in the Gaza Strip due to a surge in coronavirus infections.
As part of the new coronavirus restrictions, Hamas ordered the shuttering of mosques, schools (excluding high schools) and universities starting Saturday. Stores will be closed from 6pm as part of a night curfew that will be imposed, and later markets will also be closed.
The terror group announced that a general closure will not be imposed, though it is being considered.
