“JERUSALEM — Israeli police said Saturday that they arrested two Israeli settlers after they stormed a Palestinian village in the West Bank in a rampage that left one Palestinian dead. Armed settlers entered Burqa, a herding village east of the city of Ramallah, late Friday, shooting and killing 19-year-old Qusai Matan, Palestinian health officials said.

Israeli media reported that one of the arrested settlers used to work as an aide, who remained unnamed, for a lawmaker of the far-right Israeli ‘Jewish Power’ party… Police said they arrested two settlers after detaining five for questioning.”

Qusai Matan, 19, is named. The headline has a rampage that leaves a man dead, with no one doing it, above a lede in which armed settlers entered and shot him. Four paragraphs, between flooding in China and a gunfight in Kashmir.
