The Israeli army said Sunday it would impose a closure on the West Bank for the duration of Purim, as is standard practice during festivals and holidays.
The IDF said crossings into the Gaza Strip will also be shut during the closure period, between Tuesday night and Saturday night.
During the closure, exceptions will be made for humanitarian and other outstanding cases.
The move follows a review of the security situation and is dependent on government approval.
Purim starts Wednesday evening in most of the country, and Thursday evening in Jerusalem.

Jewish holidays are generally seen as times of increased tension, when the risk of terror attacks is higher.
Ordinarily, tens of thousands of Palestinians from the West Bank enter Israel and Israeli settlements for work each day. A far smaller number of Gaza residents also travel to Israel, mostly to receive medical treatment.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
