Partial ban on Palestinian workers to remain in place
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAfter a relatively quiet day in the West Bank security-wise, the IDF says it will still restrict Palestinian laborers from entering some Israeli settlements Thursday, for the third straight day.
On Tuesday, the army banned all Palestinian laborers from entering West Bank settlements, keeping tens of thousands from jobs mostly in construction, manufacturing and agriculture.
Some settlements were green-lighted to allow in workers on Wednesday, a day which saw no stabbing attacks or attempts as of 9:30 p.m.
The ban followed two attacks by Palestinian terrorists who sneaked into settlements, including the fatal stabbing of Dafna Meir in Otniel on Sunday.
