2 Israeli Guards Killed, 3rd Flees in W. Bank Shooting
25/04/2008 Two Israeli occupation security guards were shot dead
overnight Friday in a shooting attack at the Nitzanei Shalom industrial
zone, near the West Bank city of Tul Karm.
The bodies of the two middle-aged men were discovered Friday morning
in a factory where in the industrial zone, on the boundary between
occupied
territory and the Palestinian-ruled city.
Israeli security officials said the attack was "terror related".
They
suspect a fighter from the Islamic Jihad organization infiltrated the
industrial zone and opened fire at close range. A third guard apparently
managed to escape at the time of the attack.
The two guards were apparently screening Palestinians workers coming
in when the fighter approached them, opened fire and then escaped, the
military said.
There were no other casualties re****ted and no Palestinian
resistance
group immediately claimed responsibility. Palestinian security officials
in
Tul Karm said Israeli occupation soldiers moved into the West Bank in
force
after the attack and set up a checkpoint.
Riad al-Malki, the Palestinian foreign minister, condemned the
attack,
saying it was meant to undermine the efforts by the Palestinian government
to undertake full security responsibilities in the West Bank.
The attack was also meant to embarrass Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas while he is in Wa****ngton for meetings with U.S. officials, al-Malki
said.
In a separate incident on Friday morning, Palestinians near the West
Bank city of Ramallah hurled three firebombs at an Israeli vehicle driving
in the area. Also Friday, three Qassam rockets fired by Palestinians in
Gaza
struck southern Ashkelon. One of the rockets hit a cemetery in the south
of
the city, causing some damage to tombstones. A fourth Qassam was fired
toward Kibbutz Yad Mordechai, in the western Negev.
