¡¡JERUSALEM, July 26 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli army lifted the full closure on the West Bank on late Wednesday night, Israel's popular newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported on its website.

    The report cited Israeli political sources as saying that the closure on the West Bank was lifted as of Wednesday night, but that on the Gaza Strip would continue.

    The Israeli army put the West Bank under the closure a week ago, citing intelligence that Palestinian militants there might carryout a bomb attack inside Israel.

    The Gaza Strip has been sealed since Palestinian militant skilled two Israeli soldiers and kidnapped a third during a cross-border attack on June 25.

    But the report said that humanitarian deliveries would be permitted to go into Gaza.

    Israel has continued an almost-one-month-old massive air and ground offensive in the Gaza Strip in a bid to rescue the abducted soldier and halt Palestinian rocket attacks. Enditem
