Israel
West Bank checkpoints will be closed on October 5 and October 7, blocking regular entry into Israel except for strict medical and humanitarian reasons. Jerusalem ID holders may continue to travel freely, but Arbel permit holders cannot cross any checkpoints on these days. Adjust travel plans if you need to move between the West Bank and Israel on October 5 or 7, avoid checkpoint crossings unless cleared for medical or humanitarian reasons, keep a low profile away from heavy police presence, and monitor official embassy updates for changes.
