A Palestinian suicide bomber has killed three Israelis at the entrance to a West Bank settlement.
The Israeli military says the Israelis were apparently giving a ride in their car to a Palestinian hitchhiker when he blew himself up near the settlement of Kedumim. Witnesses say the bomber was disguised as a religious Jew.
Media reports say the victims included an elderly couple and a young girl.
The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an offshoot of the Fatah Party of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, claimed responsibility for the attack. The group said the bomber was a 24-year-old man from the West Bank town of Hebron.
