Three Israeli security personnel at a West Bank settlement entrance were killed and another wounded on Tuesday when a Palestinian opened fire. Police said the man was later neutralised.
In a statement, the police said, "A terrorist who arrived at the rear gate of Har Adar along with Palestinian labourers entering the settlement.... pulled out a weapon and opened fire at the force at the site."
"Three Israelis were killed in the attack, another was wounded and the terrorist was neutralised."
The wounded Israeli is in a serious condition and is being treated at the Hadassah hospital in Jerusalem.
According to an AFP toll, since October 2015, a wave of unrest in the area has killed at least 295 Palestinians or Arab Israelis, 50 Israelis, two Americans, two Jordanians, an Eritrean, a Sudanese and a Briton.
