The Israeli army has announced a three-day security lockdown on the occupied West Bank ahead of the Jewish state's 60th anniversary celebrations. On Wednesday Israel formally remembers soldiers killed in conflicts and a day later celebrates its 60th Independence Day. The Israeli army said in a statement that the closure would end midnight on Thursday in accordance with a security assessment. Israel regularly closes its crossings with Palestinian territories during national holidays, citing security concerns.
