Israel sealed off part of the West Bank after a Jewish settler was wounded in a shooting attack there. The settler was ambushed while he was driving in his car Tuesday evening near the Palestinian self-rule town of Jenin. The attack came after a Palestinian twice drove his car Tuesday into a group of Israeli soldiers, wounding 12. The attacker reportedly had no ties to terrorist groups, but had been reading the biography of a Hamas bomb-maker widely believed to have been killed by Israel.
