Israeli forces killed four Palestinians, including a mother, father ​and two children, as they drove ‌in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, Palestinian health authorities said.

A mother and father, ​ages 35 and 37, and two ​of their children, ages 5 and ⁠7, were shot in the head ​in the village of Tammun, while two ​of their other children sustained injuries, according to Palestinian health authorities.

The Israeli military said it was looking ​into the reports.

The Palestinian Health Ministry ​also said one Palestinian was killed in an attack ‌by ⁠settlers overnight.

Israeli settlers in the West Bank are taking advantage of curbs on movement imposed during the US-Israeli war on Iran ​to attack ​Palestinians, with ⁠military roadblocks preventing ambulances from reaching victims quickly, rights groups ​and medics say.

Settlers have killed ​at ⁠least five Palestinians in the West Bank since the Iran war began on ⁠February ​28, according to the ​Palestinian health ministry.
