Israeli tanks and troops were poised to move into Palestinian-controlled villages near Bethlehem late Tuesday, following the incursion earlier in the day into the West Bank town of Jenin, where some 70 Israeli tanks destroyed a Palestinian police station. Israeli forces also seized three houses in the PA-controlled village of Beit Jallah to counter gunfire on an adjacent Israeli neighborhood. And last Friday, following a suicide bombing that killed 15 people in Jerusalem, Israel had seized control of Orient...
