Israeli troops entered the West Bank town of Bethlehem. Residents say the operation is in retaliation for a suicide bomb attack in Jerusalem on Thursday, which killed 10 people and wounded 50 others. The suicide bomber was a Palestinian policeman from the Aida refugee camp near Bethlehem. The operation appears to be limited, possibly aimed at arresting suspects and destroying the suicide bomber's house. Israeli military officials confirmed that an operation was under way in the town but gave no details. Israeli forces routinely demolish houses belonging to Palestinian suicide bombers.
