The IDF has closed off areas in the the Southern envelope following a security assessment.
From August 12 at 12 pm, agricultural areas were closed to civilian traffic and access is only permitted in cooperation with the military.
The closed areas include: Erez Pass, Yad Mordechai, the Shaar HaNegev Junction, the Nativot Junction and the Oz River.
In addition, the closure order applies to the area of the Eshkol stream, which includes the area between the Ra’im intersection, through the Orim intersection, to the Ma’on intersection.
The closure was prompted by a security assessment in the area that determined the need to protect civilians.
