Israeli occupation troops sealed off the West Bank for three days starting Sunday as the Zionist entity celebrates the 63rd anniversary of its founding

Israeli occupation troops sealed off the West Bank for three days starting Sunday as the Zionist entity celebrates the 63rd anniversary of its founding, the army said Saturday.

The Israeli military said the closure was imposed "in accordance with the directives of the Minister of Defense," in a statement.

Israel routinely imposes tight restrictions on the West Bank during Jewish holidays.

Palestinians requiring emergency medical or humanitarian assistance should coordinate with Israel's Civil Administration, the army said.
