Following the deadly wave of attacks and the growing security threat, Central Command Chief, Major General Avi Bluth, made a series of dramatic decisions. The focus of the decisions: a complete and sweeping closure of the entry of Palestinian workers to all of the Green Line and to all settlements in Judea and Samaria.
