JERICHO, September 11, 2013 (WAFA) – Crossing between the West Bank and Jordan through Allenby Bridge will come to a total halt on Saturday after Israel has decided to shut it down to mark the Yom Kippur Jewish holiday, the Palestinian crossing police said in a statement on Wednesday.

It said the crossing will be open until nine in the evening on Thursday while it will open for only one-and-a-half hours on Friday, urging travelers to take advantage of the late opening hour on Thursday if they have to travel.
