STORYLINE:

Israel slapped tough travel restrictions on the West Bank on Monday after Palestinian gunmen killed three young Israelis and wounded five in two drive-by shooting near Jewish settlements.

The Palestinian attack near the Gush Etzion block of settlements on Sunday was the deadliest since July.

It followed Israeli intelligence warnings that Palestinian militants, who claim they drove Israel out of Gaza by force, would now shift their focus to the West Bank.

Israel pulled out of Gaza in September in a unilateral move.

The Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, a militant group with ties to the ruling Fatah party, claimed responsibility for Sunday's shooting.

However, Israeli media quoted security officials as saying they believed the Islamic militant Hamas might have been involved.

Israel responded with tough new measures limiting movement in the West Bank, security officials said, adding that the restrictions would be in place for a long time.

The West Bank towns of Hebron and Bethlehem, closest to the Gush Etzion attack, were sealed, and private Palestinian-owned cars were barred from the West Bank's main north-south road, Route 60.

Soldiers also checked cars on Route 60 on Monday.

The shooting Sunday was the deadliest attack on Israelis since a July 12 suicide bombing in the northern Israeli town of Netanya killed five Israelis.
