Palestinian assailants have shot and killed a security guard at the entrance of a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli military said. The attack could further fuel Israeli-Palestinian tensions that have soared in the past two months.
Earlier Friday, Palestinians hurled stones and Israeli police fired rubber-coated bullets at the site, which has seen a wave of unrest in recent weeks.
The violence ended around an hour later after other Palestinians in the compound intervened, convincing the stone throwers and the police to pull back. The police did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but said in a statement they had arrested three people.
