The Palestinian health ministry said on Friday that four Palestinians were shot dead in the north of the occupied West Bank, while Israel’s rescue services reported one Israeli killed in the clashes.
“Four people were killed and four others wounded, including three in critical condition, in Tel,” the Palestinian ministry said. Israel’s military said it retaliated after an attack on Israeli civilians, while the Magen David Adom emergency service reported a 30-year-old Israeli man had been killed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Friday to respond firmly after an Israeli was killed in an incident in the occupied West Bank that also left four Palestinians dead.
“We will act with full force against the terrorists and those who orchestrate and sponsor them, and we will not allow terrorism in Judea and Samaria to regain a foothold,” Netanyahu said in a statement, adding that he would meet with senior security officials to discuss a response to the “attack”.
