Dozens of Israeli settlers, some wearing masks, attacked a Palestinian village near the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, burning cars and killing at least one person.
The Palestinian health ministry said one Palestinian was killed and another was critically wounded after Israeli settlers opened fire during the attack in the village of Jit. It is the latest in a series of attacks by violent settlers in the West Bank.
The Israeli military said police and army units had intervened and arrested one Israeli. It condemned the attack, which it said diverted security forces from other responsibilities
