Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, known as Katz, ordered the closure of all crossings and checkpoints in Gaza and the West Bank on the anniversary of October 7, the Ma'an news agency reported. The directive comes as Israel marks one year since the Hamas-led attack that triggered the current conflict.
The measure restricts movement across the territories on a date of significant commemoration for Israelis, though the order's duration and scope remain unclear from the available reporting.
