Israeli Army Imposes Inclusive Closure on Occupied West Bank
What happened
The Israeli occupation army announced an inclusive closure on the occupied West Bank on October 25, 2026. The closure shut down all crossings for the entire day and barred Palestinian workers from entering or leaving the West Bank and the Jordan Valley. Restrictions on Palestinian worker movement had been in place since Sunday.

Why it matters
