Israel begins barrier section after suicide attack

Responding to a public outcry after a bloody Palestinian attack, Israeli bulldozers began flattening land for a separation barrier in a part of the West Bank that has been ignored up to now.

The work began south-west of Hebron, the main Palestinian centre in the southern West Bank, days after two suicide bombers from the town crossed the unmarked frontier into Israel and blew up buses, killing 16 people.
