BROSH, West Bank (AFP) -- An Israeli man was bludgeoned to death and a woman injured in an apparent militant attack by Palestinians on their West Bank home, police said early Friday.

It was the third violent death of an Israeli in the occupied territory in less than three weeks.

"They were beaten with blunt instruments," at Brosh, in the northern Jordan valley, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said, adding the assumption was "definitely" of a militant attack.

4. His wife gives her account

At approximately 1 am Friday, Ofer said she and her husband heard suspicious noises outside their home in the northern Jordan Valley community of Brosh Habika. The man was attacked by the Palestinians as he stepped outside to investigate, she said. The wife, who witnessed the scene from the window, apparently phoned an acquaintance, who contacted the police while she was crawling through the bushes. During her escape, the woman tripped and sustained cuts from a barbed wire fence.
