In the aftermath of a fatal attack by a Palestinian gunman that killed two Israelis, large numbers of Israeli settlers went on a violent rampage in the northern West Bank town of Hawara, torching homes, cars and agricultural land. The Palestinian health ministry said one person was killed, and four more were injured in worst outburst of settler violence in the northern West Bank in decades. As footage of the attacks covered the evening news, the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, called for calm, urging Israelis not to take the law into their own hands. The violence was condemned by the Palestinian Authority, EU and UK.
