Israel eased restrictions on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip yesterday after last week’s cease-fire with Hamas survived claims of breaches by both sides.
At the same time, Israeli security forces extended a wave of arrests in the West Bank, detaining 83 Palestinians since the accord went into effect late on Nov. 21, according to an army spokeswoman speaking yesterday on condition of anonymity in line with military rules. Hamas said more than twice that many have been arrested.
