The GOC Southern Command, Major General Yoav Galant, has extended the validity of the December 29, 2008 order declaring parts of the western Negev a closed military zone.

The jurisdiction of the order includes the following regions: the area west of Route 34, from the Yad Mordechai Junction to the Sha'ar HaNegev Junction, the area west of Route 232, from the Sha'ar HaNegev Junction to Kerem Shalom. This is a result of the concentration of forces in the area.

The order prohibits the entrance of anyone who is not a resident of the region in question, unless otherwise authorized. The order does not pertain to soldiers and policemen in the line of duty.

The IDF emphasizes that there is no limitation on roads not specified in the decree.
