Summary
Four Palestinians and two Israelis were killed Friday in Tell near Nablus, making the confrontation one of the deadliest incidents in the West Bank in months.
Israeli military officials said hikers were attacked after assailants stole a security officer’s weapon and opened fire; Palestinian officials said settlers attacked the village.
The Palestinian Authority health ministry said four others were wounded, three critically, while Magen David Adom reported a third Israeli wounded.
Israeli forces later said they killed the person who attacked the Israelis, as the episode underscored escalating West Bank violence since the Gaza war began in 2023.
