News Brief

(IsraelNN.com) A full closure will be placed on the Arabs of Judea and Samaria beginning Wednesday and lasting until Monday.

The closure stems from intelligence information that attacks are being planned to coincide with the 40-day commemoration of the killing of Hizbullah arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh. The 40-day mark is a favorite among terrorists for carrying out revenge attacks.

The Shabak (General Security Service) also said it has seven concrete threats of terrorist attacks over the Purim festival. Purim is a three-day holiday this year, beginning Thursday night. Police have already raised the terror alert based on the intelligence information.

Jerusalem and Israeli-Arabs will be able to travel freely throughout the territory between the Jordan River and the sea.
