JERUSALEM:

-

Israeli troops raided a Palestinia­n village on Thursday and the military said it was sending reinforcem­ents to the West Bank, hours after the body of a 19-year-old soldier with stab wounds was found near a Jewish settlement.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the killing as a terror attack and vowed the killers would be brought to justice.

The killing threatened to inflame tensions between Israelis and Palestinia­ns just over a month before Israel’s parliament elections. In response to the incident, Netanyahu’s nationalis­t allies called for further West Bank settlement constructi­on and a heavy handed response. (AP)
