The IDF Central Command has banned Palestinian workers from entering all Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, citing the escalating security situation, according to reports. Earlier today, the command had announced a similar ban with an exception for industrial zones.
This morning, the IDF Central Command ordered a ban on Palestinian workers entering all Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, citing the ongoing escalation in the area. The directive, reported by Israeli media, does not mention the industrial zone exception that was included in a similar announcement issued earlier today at 00:12 Jerusalem. The earlier bulletin, as The Zioneer reported at 00:25, permitted Palestinian workers to continue working in industrial zones outside communities. The new statement appears to reinforce the restriction in light of heightened security concerns. The Central Command has not yet clarified whether the industrial zone exception remains in effect.
