Four Palestinians and an Israeli are killed in a shooting incident in the occupied West Bank on Friday, according to Israeli and Palestinian officials. Palestinian health officials say four family members die in the incident in the northern West Bank near the village of Tell, southwest of Nablus, and report several other people are seriously wounded. The Israeli military says it is dispatched to the area after reports of an attack on Israeli civilians who were hiking. Israeli accounts say a Palestinian man steals a weapon from local security personnel and fires at the Israeli civilians. The New York Times reports that details of what happened remain unclear and that officials’ accounts differ. Separately, Sky News reports a different casualty figure, saying four Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers are killed during a confrontation near a village in the occupied West Bank, reflecting variation in reporting. Multiple outlets also link the incident to heightened violence in the West Bank, which has risen sharply since the start of the Gaza war, including clashes involving Israeli settlers and troops and Palestinians.
