The violence last week in Kafr Malik, in the West Bank, comes amid a surge in assaults by Israeli settlers. It also set off a chain of violence in the area.

The Israeli military detained six settlers in the occupied West Bank overnight after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) say the suspects attacked security forces.

A delegation of European diplomats visited the Palestinian town of Kafr Malik in the occupied West Bank on Monday to assess the aftermath of a deadly attack by illegal Israeli settlers.
