Israeli troops and tanks moved into the West Bank towns of Nablus and Jenin early Thursday, searching for Palestinian militants in the wake of a devastating suicide bombing earlier in the week, police and Palestinian officials said. In Hebron, Israeli troops used explosives to demolish the home of the bomber in Tuesday's suicide attack on a Jerusalem bus, which killed 20 and injured more than 100. The family had moved out, expecting the home would be demolished. Israel regularly destroys the home of suicide attackers, hoping it will be a deterrent. In Jenin, shots rang out after some 20 tanks, personnel carriers and other vehicles entered, witnesses said, but there were no immediate reports of casualties in either town. A curfew was imposed in central Nablus after more than 30 vehicles - mostly trucks and a few tanks - entered the town.
