Israel seals off West Bank
07/03/2008 12:47 - (SA)
Jerusalem - The Israeli army said on Friday that it had sealed off the occupied West Bank in the wake of a Palestinian attack at a Jewish religious school in Jerusalem that killed eight teens.
"We have imposed a strict closure on Judea and Samaria (West Bank) until Saturday night," a spokesperson said.
The move came hours after a Palestinian from occupied and annexed east Jerusalem entered the Merkaz Harav Yeshiva in predominantly Jewish west Jerusalem and started firing, killing eight teenagers and wounding nine.
