> Israel’s military closed the Palestinian Christian village of Taybeh in the West Bank to nonresidents on Sunday. The military said the measure was intended to stop growing attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians. It linked the action to attacks occurring across the West Bank. The closure restricts access to the village while authorities seek to prevent further violence.
