Israel Seals Off Ramallah
The Israeli army sealed off the West Bank city of Ramallah Sunday, May 18, following a double bombing attack in occupied Jerusalem. A curfew had earlier been imposed on the city, and the adjacent towns of Beitunia and Al-Bireh but was later lifted, the army said. However, all roads leading to Ramallah were closed. Ramallah is only five kilometers (three miles) from the French Hill neighborhood in east Jerusalem where the deadly bombing took place and houses the offices of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, Prime Minister Mahmud Abbas and the Palestinian Parliament.
