JERUSALEM, March 12 (Reuters) - A Palestinian infiltrator
killed five Israelis in a Jewish settlement in the West Bank
early on Saturday, an Israeli military spokeswoman said.
Israeli media said the attacker broke into a house in the
settlement of Itamar overnight and stabbed to death a couple and
three children, including a baby, from the same family.
"Five civilians were killed in this terrorist attack," the
spokeswoman said.
She said troops were searching for the attacker in the area
around Itamar, which is near the Palestinian city of Nablus. She
gave no further details.
