IDF bans some Palestinians from areas of Hebron
The IDF has issued new orders banning Palestinians between the ages of 15 and 25 from passing through the Jewish enclaves of the city, the Ynet news site reports.
The move, which will not apply to those who must pass through the areas to get to school or home, is being put in place after a series of stabbings and other unrest in the flashpoint West Bank city, which is home to several hundred Jewish families and tens of thousands of Palestinians.
Thursday saw two stabbing attempts in Hebron, leaving one soldier injured and two assailants dead.
Palestinian shops in the Jewish areas of the city have been ordered closed until further notice, according to the news report.
