Israel tanks enter Bethlehem as Gaza-style surge escalates
Israel intensified its West Bank operation by sending about 30 tanks and armored vehicles into Bethlehem and Beit Jalla after militants fired on a Jerusalem suburb. Two hotels were seized for troops and sniper positions were set atop them. Six Palestinians were killed, including three in Bethlehem, as clashes and gunfire continued amid international calls for a truce. The raid follows the assassination of Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi and signals a broad military response against Palestinian groups allied with Arafat.
