(IsraelNN.com) The IDF has raised its alert for the four-day Eid el-Fitr holiday ending the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. It also is making provisions to allow Arabs from Judea and Samaria to visit families in other parts of Israel. Permits will be granted to Muslim men over the age of 50, women over the age of 25 and minors under the age of 16.

The army also is allowing Arab traffic in the opposite direction. The heavy traffic at checkpoints is expected to cause further slowdowns that have caused long delays at checkpoints that only have one lane.
