Israel orders closure of West Bank crossings and expels 2,000 people after attack

Situation Overview

On 25 October 2026, Israel announced it would close all crossings into Israel and ordered the expulsion of 2,000 people from the West Bank after a Palestinian terror attack in the territory. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the move followed what he described as one of the largest military operations in decades in the occupied area. The measures were presented as part of Israel’s response to the attack and to restrict movement between the West Bank and Israel. The next concrete step reported is the continued closure of all transitions into Israel following the announcement on 25 October.
