Israeli Settler Attacks on Palestinians: IDF Admits Failures.

The Israeli army admitted that it "failed" to prevent an attack by settlers on a Palestinian town in the West Bank, during which one villager was killed in unclear circumstances. Revenge attacks on Turmus Ayya and other villages followed the killing of four Israelis by Palestinian gunmen in a terrorist attack on Tuesday. The army spokesman said troops had tried to prevent Israelis from attacking Turmus Ayya but they were stretched too thin. A delegation from more than 20 diplomatic missions, including those of the European Union and the United States, visited the village on Friday to inspect the damage.
