A Palestinian attacker killed five Israeli settlers in the West Bank early on Saturday, an Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed. Israeli media said the Palestinian broke into a house in the settlement of Itamar near Nablus and stabbed to death a couple and three children, including a baby, from the same family.
According to the Israeli news website Ynet, the victims were a month-old baby, two children aged three and 11 years old, and their parents. Three other children managed to escape and raise the alarm, Ynet added.
