Settler killed – Netanyahu vows punishment
An Israeli has been killed in an attack in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. One person has been arrested.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed retaliation.
A hospital confirmed that a man in his 30s was killed, while an organization representing Israeli settlers in the West Bank stated that the man was a settler.
"Our forces will hunt down the terrorist who carried out the deadly attack," Netanyahu said.
Violence between settlers in the occupied West Bank and Palestinians has intensified, with several incidents involving settlers attacking or harassing Palestinians and their property.
The fatal shooting occurred near Neveh Tzuf during the Jewish New Year celebrations.
A suspect has reportedly been arrested, according to The Jerusalem Post. The suspect is said to have sustained a gunshot wound and subsequently sought medical care at a hospital, where he was arrested.
