12 May 2021 17:28 BST
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld has told Middle East Eye that "a strategic decision" had been made to enact a curfew in the city of Lod between 8pm and 4am, local time (5pm-1am GMT).
The Wednesday curfew comes after a state of emergency was announced in the area, a mixed Jewish-Palestinian town south of Tel Aviv, on Tuesday evening.
"People are not allowed to be in public places, people are not allowed to leave the house, people are not allowed to enter the city," Rosenfeld said.
