10 Palestinians hurt as Israel hunts settlers� killers

AFP, NABLUS, Palestinian Territories: Ten Palestinians were wounded by Israeli fire in the West Bank on Saturday during a raid by troops hunting the murderers of a Jewish settler couple, Palestinian police and medical sources said.
Palestinians protesting against the raid in the territory’s main northern city of Nablus hurled stones at soldiers, who responded with rubber bullets, tear gas and live ammunition, the sources said.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said “10 people were wounded by live rounds to the legs or stomach,” and “four others were wounded in beatings” by security forces.
Tensions have soared in the West Bank since the settler couple were shot dead in their car in front of their four children on Thursday evening.
Rabbi Eitam Henkin and his wife Naama, both in the 30s, were buried in Jerusalem on Friday.
