Four Palestinians and one Israeli killed during West Bank settler attack

Several others seriously injured in attack that residents of Palestinian village say also involved Israeli military

Four Palestinians and one Israeli have been killed in a shooting in the northern West Bank, health officials have said, during what residents described as a settler attack also involving the Israeli military. Several more people were seriously injured.

The serious incident in the Palestinian village of Tell, near Nablus, is the deadliest attack in the West Bank this year and has the potential to lead to a series of reprisals between Israeli-backed settlers and Palestinian communities.
