Israeli settlers, supported by Israeli forces, kill four Palestinians during an attack on the village of Tel near Nablus in the occupied West Bank. Palestinian health authorities say the men were shot and four others were also wounded. Eyewitnesses cited by Middle East Eye describe armed settlers storming homes and farmland, with clashes involving Palestinians and Israeli troops.

Israeli and Palestinian sides differ on the sequence and responsibility. Israeli media and the Israeli army say settlers were “on a hike” when a Palestinian seized a weapon from a settlement guard, killing him and wounding others, and that a soldier shot the Palestinian dead. Palestinians and the Nablus governor reject that account, saying settlers opened fire on residents and that Israeli forces later raided the village and closed routes into Nablus. Israeli forces also raid the Nablus Specialized Hospital, according to Palestinian reporting. Netanyahu holds meetings on the response, and the army orders demolition of the home of the Palestinian accused of killing two settlers, while redeploying additional troops to the area.

Across multiple reports, violence continues beyond Tel, including arson, raids, property destruction and attacks on civilians in other West Bank locations. Rights groups call for international intervention to prevent further attacks, and Israeli officials and settlers publicly argue for harsher action and for new settlement construction near the Gaza area.
