The occupied West Bank remains under tight lockdown, with nearly all checkpoints closed and movement severely restricted.
Israeli authorities have also continued the closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque, barring Palestinian worshippers and Waqf employees from entering the compound. The decision has been justified on security grounds, amid the broader escalation across the region.
The continued restrictions have deepened frustration and unrest in the West Bank, where tensions remain high following recent developments in Gaza, Israel, and Iran.
