Israeli killed in W Bank - rescue service

JERUSALEM, Mar 1 (Reuters) Palestinian gunmen today killed a Jewish settler manning a petrol station in the northern West Bank, the Zaka rescue service said.

The settler was shot in the head by two gunmen who fled the scene, Israeli radio stations reported.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack at the entrance to the Migdalim settlement, near the Palestinian-ruled city of Nablus.

Palestinian militants waging an uprising since 2000 have frequently shot Jewish settlers living in the West Bank, occupied land they seek for a future state.
