Terrorist kills two Israeli security guards near Tulkarem
Two Israeli security guards deployed at the Nitzanei Shalom industrial park at Nitzanei Oz located between Tulkarm and Netanya were murdered in a terror shooting at the site. A Palestinian gunman stood at the gate and fired at the two guards before fleeing The two were identified as Shimon Mizrahi, 53, of Bat Hefer and Eli Wasserman, 51, of Alfei Menashe. Brigadier-General Noam Tibon, commander of the Judea and Samaria Division, who arrived at the site told reporters that "between 6 am and 7 am, Palestinian laborers entered the industrial zone and that the three security guards deployed at the site should have been guarding them. The terrorist opened fire from a gate hitting the guards before fleeing he said Tivon said the terrorist did not enter the industrial zone. An initial military investigation revealed that one of the dead guards forgot his weapon in the car and was standing at the terminal unarmed, while a third guard fled the area upon hearing the gunshots. The al-Quds Brigades, the Islamic Jihad's military wing, claimed responsibility for the attack. Meanwhile security forces rounded up a number of Palestinians for questioning. The industrial park is located on the seam line border between the West Bank and Israel, and is one of a number of complexes designed to promote trade between Israel and the Palestinians and boost the Palestinian economy. The industrial park was built in 1995 and provides jobs for many West Bank Palestinians. Posted by: ryuge 2008-04-25 |
