Israel imposes a comprehensive closure on the West Bank

author Wednesday October 08, 2008 11:09author by IMEMC Staff - IMEMC & Agencies Report this post to the editors

The Israeli military imposes a comprehensive closure on the West Bank Wednesday due to what an Israeli military source said marks the day long Jewish holiday Yum Kipur.

The closure will remain in effect until Friday morning, as the Israeli military and police have many measures for ensuring smooth Jewish prayers, especially in occupied East Jerusalem.

It is also worth noting that all banks in Israel operate only partially today, the Tel-Aviv stock market stops working completely, and all radio stations in Israel halt their broadcast by the afternoon.

The Israeli military has imposed closures on the West Bank areas since the breakout of the Palestinian uprising (Intifada) in September 2000.
