Defense Minister Israel Katz has ordered a complete closure of Palestinian areas in Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip from October 5 to 7. The measure is in response to memorial events planned across the country for the October 7th massacre anniversary. Crossings in Judea and Samaria will only be permitted in exceptional humanitarian cases, with specific authorization from the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories. Exceptions will also be made for essential healthcare workers from Judea and Samaria, and for cases where Israel has prior commitments to the High Court of Justice (BAGATS) or for needs related to the border area. The decision to implement the closure comes amid heightened security readiness in anticipation of the memorial dates. The closure will remain in effect during the memorial events and will be lifted based on security assessments.
