Israeli forces break into Bethlehem, cordon house

By KUNA

Ramallah : The Israeli occupation forces, backed by armored vehicles, broke into Bethlehem town, south West Bank, Thursday night.

Dozens of Israeli commandos, disguised as Arab citizens, intruded into downtown Bethlehem, ahead of the military backup from various destinations, eyewitnesses told KUNA.

The forces cordoned off the house of an activist of Islamic Jihad organization, enforcing a curfew in the area.

The move takes place just hours after the Israeli occupation forces enforced a total closure on all crossing points in the West Bank in response to the double attack that left ten Israelis dead and at least fifty others injured in west Jerusalem earlier this night.
