Palestinian territories under full strict siege as Israel celebrates the New Year

author Tuesday September 30, 2008 22:38author by Saed Bannoura - IMEMC & Agencies Report this post to the editors

Israeli Authorities announced and implemented a full siege on all of the occupied Palestinian territories as directed by the Israeli Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, as Israelis celebrate Jewish New Year and the security devices in Israel claimed to receive 10 warnings of possible Palestinians attacks.

Israeli Secret Security Services claimed that the warnings included attempts to abduct Israelis in the West Bank and in areas adjacent to the Gaza Strip.

The closure will most likely be lifted on Wednesday night but the final decision remains in the hands of the Security Services.

Hundreds of Israeli policemen were deployed in Israel while the army increased its presence on the Green Line separating the Palestinian Territories from Israel.

Hundreds of soldiers and policeman were deployed in and around Jerusalem.

Israel will most likely impose another strict siege next week when Yum Kipor starts next week.

The Palestinian territories are already under an ongoing strict siege, which has claimed the lives more than 240 patients in Gaza. Roadblocks in the West Bank restrict the movement of residents on their own towns, and this new closure will increase the number of barriers and therefore the suffering of the residents.
