Israeli authorities imposed a week-long 'comprehensive closure' on the occupied West Bank, shutting crossings and tightening restrictions around Ramallah and other towns for the Jewish Sukkot holiday. A Palestinian girl was shot and wounded by Israeli forces at the Qalandia checkpoint north of Jerusalem during the closure. Reporting also highlighted how road closures and checkpoints have become a grinding part of daily Palestinian life, with displaced Palestinians in Tulkarem and other West Bank cities pushed deeper into debt and poverty. The restrictions add to the mounting economic and humanitarian toll on West Bank Palestinians amid heightened Israeli military activity and settlement expansion.
