Four Palestinians and at least one Israeli have been killed in a shooting in the northern West Bank, according to health officials cited by the Guardian, during what residents described as a settler attack that also involved the Israeli military. Several more people were seriously injured.

The incident took place in the Palestinian village of Tell, near Nablus. The Guardian described it as the deadliest attack in the West Bank this year and warned it has the potential to lead to a series of reprisals between Israeli-backed settlers and Palestinian communities.

Accounts of the death toll differed across outlets. The Guardian reported four Palestinians and one Israeli killed, while Sky News reported four Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers shot dead during the confrontation. The BBC likewise reported four Palestinians and two Israelis killed.

The nature of the confrontation is also disputed. According to the BBC, Palestinians say villagers came under attack by settlers, while the Israeli military says a Palestinian stole a weapon and opened fire on hikers.

Sky News described the event as a confrontation near a village in the occupied West Bank, without resolving the competing narratives offered by the two sides.

The differing figures and explanations reflect the early and contested nature of the reporting. As of the available sources, the full circumstances of the shooting and the identities of those killed had not been confirmed.
