Earlier, Israeli troops on Saturday killed a Palestinian outside Hebron who carried out Friday evening a deadly attack on a Jewish settlement near the West Bank city, the Israeli army said.  

Shortly before 8 PM (1800GMT) two masked Hamas members succeeded in infiltrating into the settlement of Givat Harsina and opened fire on a house, killing an Israeli and wounding three others.  

In Tulkarem, Israeli soldiers shot and wounded two Palestinians who attacked them with pipe bombs. The army confirmed its troops shot two men after coming under attack, and said it suffered no casualties. (Albawaba.com)
