Three Israelis stabbed to death in West Bank attack

The victims were stabbed to death in an attack on a house in a West Bank settlement.

Another Israeli was wounded in the attack in Halamish. The Israeli army says the attacker was shot and caught.

The attack came near the end of a day of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces over new security measures at a Jerusalem holy site.

Three Palestinians were killed and hundreds were hurt in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.

‘Assailant was shot’

The Israeli army said “an assailant infiltrated a private home” in Halamish (also known as Neve Tsuf) and stabbed four Israeli civilians.

Israeli media said the victims were two men and a woman. Another woman who was injured is being treated at hospital.

Unconfirmed reports in local media said the attacker was a young Palestinian man from a neighbouring village. He was taken to hospital, but his condition was unclear.
