protothema.gr (Greek) —

Israel will close all land crossings to and from the West Bank starting Tuesday, October 27, 2026, according to a military announcement made early Sunday. The closure, approved by political leadership on security recommendations, will ban Palestinian workers from entering or exiting the entire West Bank and Jordan Valley, including industrial zones, for the full duration of election day. The measure follows a large-scale Israeli military operation launched after two Israeli soldiers were killed this week by two Palestinian gunmen, who were also killed.
