Three settlers killed, three others injured near Ariel settlement

Three Jewish settlers were killed and three others were injured in a stabbing and car-ramming operation in and around the illegal settlement of Ariel in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday morning, according to the Hebrew media.

AhlulBayt News Agency: Three Jewish settlers were killed and three others were injured in a stabbing and car-ramming operation in and around the illegal settlement of Ariel in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday morning, according to the Hebrew media.

In a statement, the Israeli occupation army said a Palestinian young man stabbed two Israelis, including a security guard, near the entrance of Ariel settlement. He then stabbed two other Israelis at a nearby gas station and fled in a vehicle.

The same young man, who was shot dead by Israeli soldiers later, crashed the vehicle he was driving into other cars on a nearby highway, before getting out and stabbing another Israeli man, according to Israeli medics.

Palestinian reports identified the slain young man as 19-year-old Mohamed Souf from Hares town near Nablus.

Israeli medical sources, who said at first that six Israelis were injured seriously or moderately during the stabbing and car-ramming incident, announced that three of the wounded Israelis died after sustaining critical wounds.

The person who was initially reported by the Hebrew media to have been a second Palestinian attacker was only one of the wounded settlers.

The new Palestinian operation came amid growing Israeli crimes and violations across the occupied territories.
