Israel shuts Palestinian territories for holiday
Hamas security forces stand guard at Erez border crossing into Israel, in Beit Hanun,
Jerusalem - Al Maghrib Today
The Israeli army on Tuesday announced it was closing crossing points from the Palestinian territories for 11 days due to security concerns during the upcoming Jewish festival of Sukkot.
The closure of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, a frequent measure for major Jewish holidays, would run from midnight Tuesday (2100 GMT), with only emergency cases allowed through, the army said.
The annual Sukkot festival -- which lasts one week -- commemorates the Jewish journey through the Sinai after their exodus from Egypt.
The holiday will see thousands of worshippers head to the Wailing Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem, one of the holiest sites for Jews, to pray.
The location is close to Islam's third holiest site, the Haram al-Sharif compound, known to the Jews the Temple Mount, which was the focus of angry protests in July after Israeli forces limited access over the killing of two police officers.

The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
