Gush Etzion Block

The Israeli army today prohibited Palestinians from entering a large settlement bloc in the occupied West Bank after the weekend stabbing death of a 21-year-old woman and a shooting attack last week.

At least one attacker opened fire from a car then crashed into a group of pedestrians near a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, leaving nine people wounded, police and the army said.
