A Palestinian was shot dead Friday inside a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank that he infiltrated overnight, sources from both sides said. Khaled Maher Nofal, 34, was gunned down by settlers, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported. The Israeli army said he was "neutralised" by a guard in a farm that he had infiltrated near the Palestinian town of Qalqilyah and that no weapons were found in his possession. "At 03:45 (am), a terrorist entered the Sde Efraim farm by vehicle... and pulled over adjacent to the entrance of the farm owner's house," it said in a statement. "The terrorist ran out of the car towards the house, shouting 'Allahu Akbar' (God is Greatest) while attempting to break into the house," the army said. It said the man attacked an unarmed guard and was "neutralised" by settlers. The military said soldiers later entered the intruder's village of Ras Karkar, near Ramallah, to carry out searches. mib-cgo/gl/hc/hkb
