ITAMAR, West Bank — A Palestinian infiltrated a Jewish West Bank settlement early today and killed five people, the Israeli military said.
Israeli media is reporting that the dead are all members of the same family — parents and three children. The family members — including an 11-year-old, a 3-year-old and an infant — were stabbed in their sleep, the YNet website reported.
The military said it was sweeping the area in search of the perpetrator and had set up checkpoints throughout the West Bank. It instructed all residents to stay in their homes during the extensive sweeps.
