About a dozen settlers, some armed, came from the Givat Eitam outpost near Efrat into Wadi Rahal south of Bethlehem at night, throwing stones at cars and houses. Khalil Salem Ziadeh, 47, was shot dead and others were injured. OCHA reported that a settler military reservist unit carried out the shooting and that an initial Israeli military investigation found the unit left its designated area to attack the community.
