Near Nablus in the occupied West Bank, four Palestinians were killed in a shooting and buried overnight — their deaths arriving swiftly, their meaning immediately disputed. Palestinian officials named Israeli settlers and soldiers as the aggressors; Israeli authorities described the violence as a response to a prior attack on their own civilians. In a landscape where every incident carries the weight of a longer history, the question of who struck first has become as contested as the land itself.
