JERUSALEM, Dec 29 (Reuters) - A Palestinian stabbed three Israelis in a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank on Monday before being shot and wounded by an armed passer-by, Israel's military said. It said those targeted in the Kiryat Sefer attack suffered injuries and that the "terrorist" was in Israeli custody. Israel launched an offensive in Hamas-ruled Gaza on Saturday and has been bracing for violent protests by West Bank Palestinians. Israel's Army Radio said the assailant had been working in the settlement as an electrician. (Writing by Dan Williams)
