Israeli forces have arrested six Palestinians over a recent shooting attack that killed a settler and injured two others in northern West Bank.
The Shin Bet spy agency said on Sunday morning that the Palestinians had been arrested during an overnight raid in the village of Silat al-Harithiya, near the city of Jenin, by the Israel army and police forces.
They were all handed over to the Shin Bet for interrogation.
