IDF restricts freedom of movement for car-rammer’s hometown

The IDF imposes a “breathing closure” on the West Bank town of Silwad, after one of its residents drove his car into two soldiers, killing one of them, the army says.

“As a result of the ramming attack, security measures are being taken in Silwad,” an army spokesperson says.

There are no restrictions on entrance to the village, but residents can only exit following “security checks,” the army says.
