In the village of Tell, southwest of Nablus, the four Palestinians were killed on Friday in a settler attack, which also resulted in the deaths of two settlers. Hours later, Israeli forces raided a Nablus hospital to arrest two Palestinians, one of whom was being treated for a gunshot wound, while military closures and checkpoints sealed off large parts of the city and surrounding villages.
