In pictures: West Bank turmoil

After a brief lull on Christmas Day, violence between Palestinians and Israelis broke out again on Thursday, leaving at least six dead.

Anxious Israeli troops hunted wanted Palestinian militants

They were met with resistance from stone-throwers...

... and those with more serious weapons

Soldiers took cover behind their vehicles...

... and did find some of their targets...

...including a local Islamic Jihad leader...

...whose house Israeli troops then partly destroyed

At least one bystander was killed, Palestinians say, leaving friends in grief
