Gaza : Israeli Army forces continued on Saturday imposing siege on the West Bank to prohibit Palestinians from entering Jerusalem.
All Israeli security forces and Army units are still on high state of alert in case Palestinians carry out attacks on Israel, local radio reported.
State of alert was announced after Thursday’s attack which caused the death of eight Jewish settlers and injured many others.
The radio reported the army is keeping its blockade until Sunday, at least.
Meanwhile, four Palestinian militants were injured Friday night by Israeli gunfire in a Jewish settlement near the city of Bethlehem.
An Israeli Army spokesman told a local radio Saturday that soldiers detained three of the Palestinian militias after they spotted them throwing an Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) on the settlement of Migdal Oz, southern Bethlehem.
He said that two of the Palestinians were caught in a combing operation conducted in Beit Fajjar, a town eight kilometers south of Bethlehem. The third was arrested in Al-Arroub refugee camp, north of Al-Khaleel (Hebron).
The Israeli official noted that the detainees will be interrogated, noting that a fourth detainee managed to escape to a hospital in Nablus City where he is getting care.t
