Palestinians say man killed as settlers rampage in West Bank’s Jit; unclear by whom

A Palestinian man in his early 20s was shot and killed during a settler rampage of the northern West Bank village of Jit earlier tonight, the Palestinian Authority health ministry says.

It is unclear who shot the Palestinian.

Some 50 masked settlers participated in the rampage, torching at least four homes and six vehicles.

An Israeli official says Border Police and the IDF arrived and cleared them out, and no settlers are currently in the town.

There are no reports of any arrests.
