RAMALLAH, Nov. 10 – Israeli forces arrested 24 Palestinians in a massive crackdown against wanted activists in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Palestinian and Israeli sources said Monday.

Israel says goods border crossings with the Gaza Strip will remain closed, but its defence minister will hold talks to decide whether to allow fuel shipments.

Suicide bombers, one of them reportedly a girl of 13, have shattered Iraq’s relative stability of recent months, killing at least 32 people.
