Israel's military continued a large operation in the occupied West Bank on Sunday and said crossings into Israel would remain closed until after Tuesday's election, following an Oct. 23 gun attack near Hebron that killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three. The military said most Palestinian workers with permits would also be barred from entering Israeli settlements in the West Bank on Sunday and Monday. It said forces operated in more than 400 locations over the weekend and arrested 40 Palestinians it alleged were affiliated with Hamas or Islamic Jihad. The Israel Defense Forces said the two attackers were killed by return fire. Local authorities, cited by the Associated Press, said more than 2,600 Palestinians had been displaced. Defense Minister Israel Katz said residents of some areas could not return until the operation against Hamas infrastructure was complete.
