Israel to impose a complete closure on the West Bank and close all Gaza crossing during Israeli Yom Kippur holiday, Israeli military minister announced.

The closure is scheduled to last 36 hours, from noon on Tuesday until midnight on Wednesday, according to Al Ray.

A statement by the Israeli military forces said that the lifting of the closure would ultimately be determined “based on the situation assessment”.

The Gaza crossings will be opened during the holiday, but only for medical or other humanitarian cases, and only with approval from the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, the statement added.
