Israeli troops seal entrances leading to crossing with Jordan

Israeli forces closed off the entrances leading to the city of Jericho and the King Hussein Bridge crossing with Jordan in the eastern West Bank in the early hours of Friday, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

Local sources told Wafa that Israeli troops closed all roads leading to Jericho and the Karama crossing in both directions, using iron gates and military checkpoints.

The move comes as Israel launched a wave of military attacks on Iran.
