Israeli forces raided early Saturday Kobar village in western Ramallah and ransacked the home of an alleged attacker whom they accuse of stabbing three Israeli settlers to death on Friday night, local sources said. 

The Israeli forces also detained the alleged attacker's brother, the Palestinian WAFA news agency reported.

Israeli reports said that 19-year-old Omar al Abed stabbed and killed three Israeli settlers and seriously injured a fourth after breaking into the illegal settlement of Halamish, west of Ramallah.

Abed was shot and seriously wounded.
