Last night — we are told now — the general closure was lifted
One of the bad things about this occupation is that no one ever really knows what’s going on, or what will happen to his or her life.
The IDF spokeperson has now announced this morning that : “The general closure of the Judea and Samaria region and the Gaza Strip was lifted yesterday, March 9th, at midnight, following security assessments. Throughout the closure, the passage of the following cases was permitted: medical personnel, NGO members, religious workers, humanitarian cases, teachers, lawyers and prisoners’ families on their way to court, residents of Jabal Mukabar, Beit-Safafa, Hizma and Bir Una, as well as Palestinian workers under the auspices of District Coordination and Liaison offices”.
But what are all the planes and helicopters flying overhead?
In normal places, that means normal civilian activity.
Here, it generally means trouble.
