Here is the news item:Army: Palestinian Kills 5 In West Bank Settlement
by The Associated Press
March 11, 2011
The Israeli military says a Palestinian has infiltrated a Jewish West Bank settlement and killed five people.
Israeli media is reporting that the dead are all members of the same family — parents and three children.
The military says it is sweeping the area in search of the perpetrator and has set up checkpoints throughout the West Bank.
The attack early Saturday in the northern West Bank settlement of Itamar is the first of its kind in years. It marks a rare outburst of violence during a relatively calm period.
Itamar is home to some of the West Bank's most fervent settlers. The attack took place in the middle of the night against a religious community on the Jewish Sabbath.
