HUNDREDS of Israeli settlers stormed into a Palestinian town in the occupied West Bank today, torching dozens of cars and homes.

The attack came in apparent revenge over the deaths of four Israelis killed by Palestinian resistance fighters the previous day.

The settler attack came as the Israeli military deployed additional forces across the occupied West Bank, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans to build 1,000 new settler homes in response to the deadly shooting.
