Israel to close off West Bank, Gaza for Yom Kippur

The IDF will impose a general closure on movement into Israel from the West Bank, and on Gaza crossings, from Tuesday at 12:00 until Wednesday one minute before midnight, the military announced on Monday. 

The closure is an annual security precaution, and comes in line with an order by Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon. 

"The lifting of the closure will occur in two days...in accordance with a situation evaluation," the IDF added.
