Palestinians kill Jewish settler in blow to shaky truce

Palestinian gunmen killed a Jewish settler and wounded several more in a West Bank drive-by shooting yesterday in a new blow to a faltering Israeli-Palestinian ceasefire.

The attack, the second killing of a settler in four days, followed Israel's detention of 63 suspected Islamic Jihad militants in the West Bank and resumption of a policy of assassinating the group's leaders.

The ceasefire agreed in February has been fraying for weeks in Gaza, raising the spectre of disruption to Israel's planned pullout from the territory later this year.
