Two Israelis, including baby girl, killed in West Bank attack

Happy Holiday - Rosh Hashana to the Jews - from the Paleo Killers - JPost - Reg Req’d
Two Israelis were murdered, including a baby girl, and four others seriously wounded Friday night in a shooting attack on the settlement of Negahot, near the West Bank city of Hebron, rescue sources said.

Two others were also wounded in the attack, said Yeroham Mandola, a spokesman for the Israeli rescue services.

The attack, on the settlement of Negahot, near the West Bank city of Hebron, came as Israelis began celebrating the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hashanah on Friday evening.

Israel radio reported the attacker appeared to have been a lone gunman who got through the fence of the isolated settlement.

"To our regret, we have two killed and two more slightly wounded," said Dror Richter, spokesman for Israel’s ambulance services.

The attacker was shot and killed by soldiers guarding the settlement, according to the radio.

Holiday celebrations across Israel were marked by heavy security, with thousands of officers deployed at synagogues, parks and intersections to try to prevent attacks by Palestinian terrorists.

#3  Rex and BAR - exactly - that's why I posted it. Think the general media will ever pick up on the difference? It would take a nuclear or bio or chem attack before they ever take the leap to terrorists, and even then Rooters would still call them militants

#2  Exactly Bomb-a-rama. Why isit that every Paleo that kills an innocent Israeli is immediately accorded the title of militant. The article states clearly that the victims were murdered. If the victims were murdered, the Paleo is a murderer. If he is a militant....the victims were "militanted"

#1  I wonder....

Was the Palestinian that mounted the attack looking for Jewish militants?

Probably not. ;)
