Israel Goes on Alert and Imposes Closure Ahead of Rosh Hashana

Israel - The Israel military imposed a closure Friday on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to prevent Palestinians from entering Israel during Rosh Hashana (the Jewish New Year holiday).  Besides the closure, Israel's security forces also went on high alert to prevent terror attacks during the holiday.

The closure is due to remain in place at least until Sunday night, when the holiday ends.
