An Israeli soldier detains a Palestinian youth at the Hawara checkpoint near the West Bank city of Nablus. The Israeli military announced an open-ended closure of the West Bank and Gaza Strip Wednesday, ahead of the weeklong Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which begins at sunset. Blanket closures, including travel bans within the Palestinian areas, are usually imposed during Jewish holidays, and restrictions are eased, though not lifted, once the holidays are over.
