The army barred 1.8 million Palestinians from Israel for a week to combat a wave of attacks that claimed another Israeli life Thursday, while an angry crowd buried victims of a car bomb attack.
The order, one of the strictest ever imposed on the Palestinians, came a day after a Muslim fundamentalist seeking revenge for a Jewish settler's Feb. 25 massacre in a mosque set off a car bomb that killed eight in this northern town.Meanwhile, Israeli troops opened fire on Palestinian protesters Friday in Hebron when they began throwing stones after hearing a speech by the Rev. Jesse Jackson urging peace.
At least eight Palestinians were wounded in the clash outside the site of the Hebron mosque massacre.
