Israel's prime minister and the White House have condemned the attack - with Benjamin Netanyahu saying he views it with the 'utmost severity'.
At least one Palestinian has been killed after dozens of Israeli settlers, some wearing masks, attacked a village in the occupied West Bank. Video on social media showed cars and houses on fire in Jit, near the city of Nablus. Israel's military said petrol bombs and rocks were thrown at buildings and vehicles and that it used 'riot dispersal means' to end the violence. It said one Israeli had been arrested after police and army units intervened in Thursday's attack.
The US and European countries have also consistently urged Israel to do more. 'Israeli authorities must take measures to protect all communities from harm, this includes intervening to stop such violence, and holding all perpetrators of such violence to account,' said a statement on Thursday from the White House National Security Council.
