What happened
Following a terrorist attack in the Hebron area where two Israel Defense Forces soldiers were killed, the Israel Defense Forces implemented a two-day entry ban on Palestinian workers into Israeli communities in Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley, starting Sunday. Additionally, the political leadership approved entry and exit bans for Palestinian workers throughout Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley, and ordered the closure of all land crossings between Judea and Samaria and Green Line Israel during Election Day on October 27.
Why it matters
The bans severely restrict the movement and labor availability of Palestinian workers across the region. These restrictions affect access to industrial zones and limit cross-border commerce between Judea and Samaria.
Attacks were documented in the Judea and Samaria region, and a suspect arrested in Hebron was transferred to Shin Bet.
