Whenever there is a major Jewish holiday in Israel some Arab cities in Judea and/or Samaria are sealed off.
That is to say, people can move around freely within these cities but they cannot leave them. This is done to protect the lives of 6 million Jews in Israel, civilians who would otherwise be the target of mass terror attacks by Arabs from these territories.
Arabs protest loudly about the fact that on these occasions, Israeli cities such as Jerusalem are sealed off for them, and also that they are, on some occasions, sealed off from one another for the duration of these special events.
