Palestinian assailants shoot dead Israeli guard in West Bank

JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinian assailants have shot and killed a security guard at the entrance of a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank, in a fresh attack that could further fuel Israeli-Palestinian tensions that have soared in the past two months. Early on Saturday, the Israeli military said the attackers arrived at the Ariel settlement entrance and shot the guard in his post before fleeing the scene. The military launched a pursuit in the West Bank to get to the suspects. Separately, Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian man during clashes near the town of Qalqilya.
