JERUSALEM, (APP/AFP) – The Israeli army said
Friday that it was temporarily barring all Palestinians from entering Israel, stepping up already tough restrictions announced after Palestinian gunmen shot dead four Israelis in Tel Aviv.
“In accordance with government directives and the ongoing situation
assessment, as of today crossing from the Gaza Strip and Judaea and Samaria
(the West Bank) will be open to Palestinians only in medical and humanitarian cases,” a spokeswoman told AFP.
She said that the closure would remain in force until midnight Sunday.
