Israeli settlers and troops killed four Palestinians during an attack on a village in the occupied West Bank on Friday, during which a soldier and a settler were also shot dead.
According to eyewitnesses, a group of armed settlers stormed homes and farmland on the outskirts of Tel, southwest of Nablus, early in the morning.
Residents gathered to repel the attack, Mahmoud al-Hindi, a resident of the village, told Middle East Eye.
The confrontation escalated into physical clashes between unarmed Palestinians on one side and rifle-wielding settlers and Israeli soldiers on the other.
Israeli troops and settlement guards then opened fire on a group of Palestinians, according to Hindi.
