4 Israelis killed by Palestinian gunmen as violence surges in West Bank [View all]

Four Israelis were killed by Palestinian militants in the central West Bank on Tuesday, the latest in a series of tit-for-tat attacks that threaten to tip the region into a new, deadlier period of violence.

At least two gunmen opened fire at a hummus restaurant in a gas station outside of Eli, an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. One gunman was killed by an Israeli civilian at the scene, and a second was later shot dead by Israeli forces, according to the military; the army said it was conducting a manhunt for additional suspects and had closed parts of Route 60, the main highway running through the occupied West Bank.

The fatalities included Harel Masood, 21, from Yad Binyamin in central Israel; and Elisha Anteman, 17, and Ofer Feierman, 63, from Eli. Four others were injured in the attack, including one who was in serious condition.
