Israeli civilian, 4 palestinians killed in West Bank
Palestinian militants shot and killed an Israeli civilian in the northern part of the occupied West Bank on Thursday, Israel’s military and rescue services said.
Militants began firing at a car in Einav, an Israeli settlement, causing it to turn over and killing a 35-year-old man inside, they said. Israel’s military said it set up roadblocks in the area and was pursuing the attackers.
The death was the latest in the violence which has gripped the West Bank. Four Palestinians, including three teenagers, were shot dead in different parts of the occupied West Bank early Thursday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said. More than 130 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since the start of the war, mainly in violent protests and gunbattles during Israeli arrest raids.
