Following the recent escalation of Palestinian attacks, Israel has prohibited the movement and travel of Palestinians in most of the West Bank. Currently, the movement of all vehicles between the largest cities in the northern West Bank, namely Jenin, Nablus, Tulkarm, Qalqilya, and Ramallah, is banned, and the Israeli army has enforced a complete ban on movement in this area. Israeli forces have also besieged the Rafah settlement on the southern edge of the Gaza Strip, isolating it. Yesterday, a Palestinian suicide bomber detonated himself in northern Israel, killing nine passengers on a bus and injuring dozens more. In Jerusalem, a Palestinian gunman killed two people and was subsequently shot and killed. In the early hours of today, two Jewish settlers and two Palestinians were killed in the West Bank.
