Israel has ordered its army to prepare a full closure of the occupied West Bank from Friday, after a shooting near Hebron. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office told security forces to cordon off Hebron immediately. The army said soldiers killed two gunmen near Yehuda Junction and thwarted a "terror attack" that wounded Israelis. Netanyahu said troops are carrying out widespread arrest raids across the whole territory.
