Israel closes Hebron after Palestinian attacks

-

The Israeli army has imposed a closure on and around the West Bank city of Hebron, a military spokesman said Friday, following a series of deadly attacks in the region.

Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner said the army was also deploying hundreds more soldiers in Hebron, in the "most substantial steps on the ground" since 2014, after two Israelis were killed in the region in separate attacks over the past two days.
