Israel's prime minister and the White House condemn 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.
More than 600 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in the West Bank since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. These have mostly been during military raids into towns and cities to arrest or kill militants - but civilians are often caught in the crossfire. Israel accuses Iran of sending money into the West Bank to incite further violence against Israelis. It approved 3,400 new settlement homes to be built earlier this year, even though they are illegal under international law.
