Jewish Settlers Murdered in West Bank; Israel Approves More Homes 
------------------------------------------------------------------



Five Jewish settlers were murdered in their West Bank home on Saturday
in the deadliest attack inside a settlement in years. Israeli media
reported that the children were boys aged three and 11, and a
one-month-old girl. Israel responded to the attack by approving hundreds
of new homes in West Bank settlements. Palestinian Authority President
Mahmoud Abbas condemned the murders. There have been reports that the
militant group Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades has claimed credit for the
attack.
