In response to heightened security concerns stemming from recent events along the Gaza border, Israeli occupation forces have taken the decision to close all military checkpoints surrounding the city of Jerusalem temporarily.

This development has had significant repercussions on the movement of people in and out of the occupied city, resulting in a traffic crisis at various entrances.

Eyewitnesses in the vicinity, as communicated to the Jordan News Agency (Petra), have observed a substantial disruption in daily routines due to these checkpoint closures. This has left hundreds of Palestinians stranded, impeding their ability to travel to and from Jerusalem.
