Three Israelis have been shot dead by a Palestinian at the entrance to a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank, Israeli police say.
The gunman, a 37-year-old from a nearby village, was also shot and died later.
Police say he pulled out a gun as he waited to enter Har Adar along with Palestinian labourers and opened fire on police and security guards.
It came as US envoy Jason Greenblatt arrived in Jerusalem to try to revive Israel-Palestinian peace talks.
The White House has tried to lay the groundwork for a resumption of negotiations since Donald Trump took office in January, but there has been no sign of progress.
Peace talks between the two sides broke down amid acrimony in April 2014.
