Four Palestinians and one Israeli killed during West Bank settler attack

Four Palestinians and one Israeli were killed in a shooting in the northern West Bank on Friday, according to The Guardian, which cites health officials. Several other people were seriously injured. The Guardian reports the violence unfolded in the Palestinian village of Tell, near Nablus, during what residents described as a settler attack that also involved the Israeli military. It is the deadliest attack in the West Bank this year, and the outlet notes it carries the potential to spark a cycle of reprisals between Israeli-backed settlers and Palestinian communities.
