Total closure day

A day on which no one with a Palestinian Authority ID is allowed to enter Jerusalem or Israel at all, even if they have a valid entry permit. In such cases, the entry permits for that day are canceled, and the holder has to reapply all over again. A total closure prevents Palestinian residents of the West Bank and Gaza, as well as their goods, from traveling into or through Israel. It also restricts the movement of Palestinians and goods within the West Bank itself. The Israeli army usually implements increased inspections, checking vehicles, passengers, and persons on foot at permanent and temporary Israeli military checkpoints. Also, Palestinians and shipments are blocked from entering or exiting crossings to Jordan.
