Israel imposes West Bank restrictions

Israel slapped tough travel restrictions on the West Bank after Palestinian gunmen killed three young Israelis and wounded four others in a drive-by shooting at a crowded bus stop near Jewish settlements.

The Palestinian attack near the Gush Etzion block of settlements yesterday was the bloodiest since July, and it followed warnings from Isaeli intelligence that with Israel’s pullout from Gaza last month, Palestinian militants would shift their focus to the West Bank.
