NABLUS: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Friday to respond firmly after an Israeli was killed in violence in the occupied West Bank that also killed four Palestinians.
The Palestinian health ministry said “four people were killed and four others wounded, including three in critical condition, in Tel.”
Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency services reported that a man in his thirties was pronounced dead near the settlement of Havat Gilad. Two other victims, in their twenties, were evacuated by helicopter with gunshot wounds, one of whom was in a serious condition.
The Israeli military said it had deployed soldiers after reports of an attack against Israeli civilians who were hiking near Havat Gilad.
According to the military, the attackers seized the weapon of a member of the security forces who had arrived at the scene and opened fire on the hikers.
