West Bank pressures grow amid Israeli closures- PublishedTens of thousands of Palestinians are being subjected to tight restrictions on movement by the Israeli military in parts of the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.Many residents of Shuafat - a huge refugee camp cut off from the rest of the city by Israel's separation barrier - have been unable to leave since Saturday night, when a Palestinian man armed with a pistol shot dead an 18-year-old Israeli soldier at a checkpoint.Overnight confrontations broke out between the Israeli military and Palestinians amid new fears of a further escalation.Several neighbourhoods saw a night of confrontation similar to those that broke out over several weeks in May last year, which partly fuelled a much bigger conflict.In the West Bank town of Huwara, video showed masked Israeli settlers carrying sticks attacking Palestinian shops, while soldiers nearby appeared to do little to stop them."
