JPost - they've identified him
This is the first terror attack in the park — which employs both Israelis and Palestinians — and is considered to be an oasis of coexistence where members of both groups can come together.
The Palestinian suspect, identified in Israeli media as 23-year-old Ashraf Abu Shaham from the village of Shweika near the West Bank city of Tulkarem, had no previous security-related history. Abu Shaham had a permit to work at the Barkan park, where he was employed at a factory for the past seven months as an electrician,though he had not shown up work for the past few weeks.
The shooter entered a factory building and shot at two women and one man before fleeing. He can be seen in security footage running away from the scene with a rifle in his hand.
According to Walla! News, Abu Shaham bound the victims before shooting them at close range.
