Israel has closed the occupied West Bank for a week, citing the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, tightening restrictions at more than 300 checkpoints and cutting off access to holy sites including Al-Aqsa Mosque. The closure bars Palestinian permit holders from work in Israel, where employment has already collapsed since the Gaza war began.
