JERUSALEM (AP) — Two Palestinian attackers have opened fire at a restaurant and gas station near an Israeli settlement in the West Bank on Tuesday, killing four Israelis and wounding several other people before they were shot dead, as violence roiled the occupied territory the day after a deadly Israeli military raid. Later Tuesday, Israeli settlers attempted to carry out revenge attacks across the northern West Bank, raising fears of a repeat of a rampage last February that resulted in damage to dozens of Palestinian homes and vehicles and the killing of a Palestinian man. The violence came a day after an Israeli military raid into the northern Jenin refugee camp ignited fierce fighting that killed six Palestinians.
