Transcribed from the clipping
“JERUSALEM — Israeli authorities said Tuesday that a motorist shot to death by a suspected Palestinian gunman in the occupied West Bank held both American and Israeli citizenship… The government identified the slain man as Elan Ganeles, 27, of West Hartford, Conn.… The killing occurred a day after two Israelis were killed by a Palestinian gunman in the northern West Bank, triggering a rampage in which Israeli settlers torched dozens of cars and homes in the Palestinian town of Hawara and one Palestinian was killed… Palestinian U.N. ambassador Riyad Mansour urged the council to take steps to protect Palestinian civilians, ‘especially after the criminal and terrorist act by settlers in Hawara.’”
