The IDF on Thursday night will impose a curfew on Palestinian Authority residents of Yehuda and Shomron, which will continue until after the weeklong Pesach holiday.

Exceptions will be made in cases of humanitarian need, officials reported.

The closure will prevent PA residents from crossing over the Green Line into pre-1967 Green Line Israel.

The closure is a major step but in addition, police and the army are on alert in the hope of thwarting any and all efforts to perpetrate a terror attack.
