Israeli border police officers prevent Palestinians from crossing through a gate in a section of Israel's separation barrier from the West Bank village of Abu Dis, into Jerusalem Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2005. Israel on Tuesday clamped a closure on the West Bank and Gaza, banning virtually all Palestinians from Israel, and arrested at least 15 Palestinian militants in its first response to a suicide bombing that killed five Israelis outside a shopping mall on Monday.
