Palestinian gunmen have killed four Israelis and injured four more in an attack near a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank, in the latest burst of violence in the territory.
The attack on Tuesday was the deadliest against Israelis since a shooting in a settlement in East Jerusalem in January and comes the day after Israeli forces killed six Palestinians, including a 15-year-old, and injured more than 90 during a raid in the city of Jenin that erupted into a multi-hour gun battle.
Israeli medics said that one of the four people injured in the shooting near Eli, a settlement north of the Palestinian city of Ramallah, was in a serious condition and that all were being taken to hospitals in Israel.
