A wave of attacks by Israeli settlers has continued across the occupied West Bank, after four Palestinians and two Israelis were shot dead in a violent confrontation near Nablus on Friday.
Both sides accused the other of provoking the violence.
The confrontation has further inflamed the situation in the West Bank, which has seen growing violence by extremist settlers against Palestinians, encouraged by far-right elements in the current Israeli government.
Israel’s prime minister has said he will speed up the establishment of new farm outposts in the West Bank, in response to the killings.
Israel’s army says it “condemns nationalist violence” and is working to prevent “incidents of nationalist crime”, which is its term for attacks by extremist Israeli settlers.
