Israel closes Gaza and West Bank crossings for October 7 remembrance
Original: Israel to close West Bank, Gaza crossings for October 7 remembrance ceremonies, COGAT says
Israel is closing crossings into the West Bank and Gaza ahead of remembrance ceremonies marking the October 7 attacks, according to COGAT, the Israeli defence ministry body that coordinates with the Palestinian territories. The closures will restrict Palestinian movement during the memorial period as Israel holds official commemorations for the anniversary of the Hamas-led assault, which triggered the ongoing war in Gaza.
Why now: It is the second anniversary of the October 7 attacks, and the closures are a security measure people are watching closely amid the ongoing war.
