A 13-year-old Israeli boy was killed and a seven-year-old wounded today when a Palestinian attacked them with an axe in a settlement in the occupied West Bank, medics said.
The two children were attacked in the Bat Ayin settlement south of Bethlehem, they added.
The Palestinian attacker fled the scene and the army was conducting a massive search in the area, radio and television reported.
It marked the first such attack since hawkish prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu officially took office.

Some of Darwish's last words
"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008
His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.
