Dozens of Israeli settlers, some wearing masks, attacked a Palestinian village near to the city of Qalqilya in the occupied West Bank, killed at least one Palestinian and set fire to homes and cars, reported Reuters, quoted by BTA.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said one Palestinian is in critical condition after being shot in the attack on the village of Jit.
This is another attack carried out by aggressive Israeli settlers in the West Bank, Reuters notes.
Videos of burning houses and cars appeared on social networks.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said police and military units were dispatched to the scene and that one Israeli was detained. The IDF condemned the incident and indicated that security officials had to suspend their other responsibilities to intervene. The Israeli military also said it was investigating reports of a Palestinian death.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office released a statement saying it was taking the case "extremely seriously". "Persons responsible for any violations will be detained and prosecuted," the text also reads.
Palestinians in the Occupied Territories regularly accuse Israeli security forces of supporting or allowing groups of aggressive settlers to attack their homes and settlements, and these incidents are of increasing concern to the international community.
The US and a number of European countries have imposed sanctions on violent settlers and repeatedly called on Israel to do more to curb the attacks.
Participants in the negotiations for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip will meet again on Friday in the Qatari capital Doha, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
At the same time, health authorities in the Palestinian enclave reported that the number of Palestinians killed in the 10-month-old fighting has exceeded 40,000.
The new round of talks that began on Thursday is being extended by another day, Qatari and US officials said. According to an American official, the consultations in Doha were "constructive".
"This is a vital task. The remaining hurdles can be overcome and we must complete this process," White House National Security Adviser John Kirby told reporters.
Israel continues its offensive in Gaza, and local health officials said at least six Palestinians were killed in an airstrike in Jabalia in the northern part of the enclave overnight. Before that, the Israeli army shelled targets in the southern cities of Rafah and Khan Younis.
Hossam Badran, a representative of the political wing of "Hamas", said in "Telegram" that Israel's operations are an obstacle to making progress on the ceasefire talks and that they should focus on the implementation of the agreed earlier employment agreement. Badran indicated that a full ceasefire should be achieved, Israeli troops should be withdrawn, displaced Palestinians should return and a deal should be made to release the hostages.
"Hamas" did not send its representatives to the negotiations in Doha.
The Israeli delegation includes the director of the Israeli intelligence service "Mossad" David Barnea, the head of the Israeli internal security service "Shin Bet" Ronen Barr and Israeli military coordinator for the hostage issue Nitzan Alon.
The White House sent CIA Director William Burns and US Special Envoy for the Middle East Brett McGurk.
Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and Egypt's intelligence chief Abbas Kamel are also taking part in the talks.
