[IsraelTimes] Footage shows car drive up to entrance of settlement, two men open fire toward a guard post before fleeing; security forces searching area; nearby communities on lockdownAn Israeli security guard was shot and killed in an apparent terror attack near the entrance to the West Bank settlement of Ariel on Friday night, officials said.
Security camera footage from the scene showed a blue Suzuki vehicle driving up to a guard post, where a person in the passenger seat opens fire. The gunman and the driver then both get out and continue to fire into the guard post before driving off.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said its medics declared the man dead at the scene.
"When we arrived at the scene we saw a man in his twenties unconscious with gunshot wounds, he was not breathing and had no pulse," MDA medic Tomer Fine said.
Ariel and other settlements of the area issued a lockdown order over fears the button men may attack again.
Large security forces began to block off roads as police and the military launched a massive manhunt for the button men. Local security officials said they did not know where the vehicle headed after the attack.
