Four Palestinians killed in West Bank clashes

Three Palestinians have been shot dead as they carried out attacks and another has been killed in clashes with Israeli soldiers.
Early on Thursday a Palestinian man stabbed two security guards at an entrance to an industrial zone at the Jewish settlement of Ariel, the largest in the north of the occupied West Bank. Police said both victims suffered moderate wounds and the attacker was killed. He was identified as Mohammed Zahran, 23, from the nearby village of Kafr Addik.
Later, another Palestinian man tried to attack soldiers with a screwdriver at a checkpoint near the West Bank city of Hebron, and was shot dead. The Palestinian health ministry identified him as Iyad Idaissat, 25, from the village of Yatta.
In a third incident, a Palestinian man was shot dead while attempting to ram his car into a military post near the Adam junction north-east of Jerusalem, the army said. Bilal Zayd, 23, was from the Qalandiya refugee camp between Jerusalem and Ramallah.
