Gaza militants fired rockets and Israel carried out air strikes early on Friday as tensions soared after the deadliest raid in the occupied West Bank for more than 20 years.
Both the Palestinian rockets and Israeli air strikes seemed limited, so as to prevent escalation into a full-blown war.
The Palestinian Authority already has limited control over scattered enclaves in the West Bank, and almost none over militant strongholds such as the Jenin camp. Palestinian Authority spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh said Mr Abbas had decided to cut security coordination in "light of the repeated aggression against our people".
The camp — where the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group has a major foothold — has been a focus of near-nightly Israeli arrest raids.The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the 61-year-old woman killed as Magda Obaid, and the Israeli military said it was looking into reports of her death.
