| Palestinian gunman kills three Israelis in West Bank | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Three Israelis have been shot and killed by a Palestinian gunman at the entrance to a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank, Israeli police say. | |
| The gunman was also shot and died later but has not yet been identified, the authorities said. | |
| The attacker had "arrived at the rear gate of Har Adar along with Palestinian labourers entering the settlement" before opening fire on Israeli police guards, police said. | |
| Four people were seriously injured. | |
| The victims suffered gunshot and stab wounds, the Israeli ambulance service said. | |
| The identities of the Israelis shot dead are being withheld by the authorities, the Jerusalem Post newspaper reports. | |
| There has been a wave of stabbing, shooting and car-ramming attacks on Israelis, predominantly by Palestinians or Israeli Arabs, since late 2015. | |
| At least 50 Israelis and five foreign nationals have been killed in nearly two years of such attacks. | |
| More than 255 Palestinians - most of them attackers, Israel says - have also been killed in that period. Others have been killed in clashes with Israeli troops. | |
| Israel says Palestinian incitement has fuelled the attacks. The Palestinian leadership has blamed frustration rooted in decades of Israeli occupation. |
