NABLUS, (PIC)-- Five Israeli settlers were killed in their house in Itamar settlement, which was built on Palestinian land in Nablus, at dawn Saturday.
Hebrew media claimed that a "terrorist suspect" infiltrated into the settlement and killed the father, mother, and three of their children.
Israeli occupation forces (IOF) were immediately deployed in the surrounding areas and clamped a curfew on nearby Palestinian villages as a large-scale combing operation was kicked off under heavy presence of choppers and reconnaissance planes.
PIC reporter said that the IOF troops closed off all entrances into Nablus city causing long queues of vehicles.
He quoted eyewitnesses as saying that the IOF soldiers manning roadblocks at the entrance to the city fired at anyone approaching them.
Local sources said that the soldiers stormed the village of Orta to the east of Nablus and broke into many homes and took away citizens.
Meanwhile, other IOF units stormed five villages south of Jenin city shortly after the attack and used flare bombs in abundance before combing the villages.

NAZARETH, (PIC)-- The Israeli army has announced one of its soldiers has gone missing, Ynet reported.
His unit has lost contact with the soldier since Monday, the army said Friday after carrying out covert searches. It is still trying to learn why he has disappeared.
The last contact was made with Sgt. Dan Bogedan Sherkov while he was riding a bus in Tel Aviv bound for Beit Shimish before his traces were completely lost.
The disappearance came at a time when Israeli and Palestinian security forces say Hamas activists have become more and more intent on capturing soldiers and retain them to bargain for Palestinian captives.

RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Illegitimate PA premier in Ramallah Salam Fayyad has denounced the killing of five Israelis from the Itamar settlement near Nablus in the northern West Bank.
But Fayyad meanwhile failed to denounce the daily attacks and riots targeting Palestinians by armed Jewish settlers backed by Israeli armed forces as well as the Israeli authorities' onslaught of arrests and home demolitions.
”There should be no doubt about our position relating to violence. We categorically reject it,” Fayyad said during a ceremony on Saturday to place the foundation block of the Beit Jala municipal building.
”We have repeatedly said that we reject and condemn the violence against our people,” he said. ”Violence does not justify violence.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier vowed to punish the ”perpetrators” and called on de facto Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas to give the Israeli forces full aid in the matter.
