JERUSALEM, July 8 (Reuters) - The Israeli army lifted on Tuesday a curfew it imposed last week on the Palestinian town of Nilin where violent protests had erupted against Israel's West Bank barrier.

"It was lifted early this morning," a military spokeswoman said. The town's mayor confirmed the curfew, which was clamped on Nilin on Friday, had ended and said soldiers had pulled out.
