Shooting Attack at West Bank Car Wash Kills 2 Israelis
|
 [ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Two Israelis were killed in a suspected Paleostinian shooting attack on a car wash in a volatile stretch of the occupied West Bank on Saturday.
The Israeli military said it was searching for suspects and setting up roadblocks near the town of Hawara, a flashpoint area in the northern West Bank, which has seen repeated shooting attacks as well as a rampage by Jewish West Bank settlers who torched Paleostinian property.
The shooting attack came after Paleostinian official media said a 19-year-old Paleostinian died of his wounds following an Israeli military raid into the West Bank on Wednesday.
Israeli paramedics said Saturday that when they arrived at the scene, two Israeli males, aged 60 and 29, were found unconscious at the car wash in Hawara with gunshot wounds.
Videos circulating online from the car wash showed Israeli soldiers walking across a large pool of blood to help move two bodies on stretchers to awaiting ambulances.

Israeli father and son gunned down and killed in terror shooting at Huwara carwash
Two Israeli men, a father and son, were shot and killed in a terror attack in the northern West Bank town of Huwara on Saturday, the military and medics said.
The shooting occurred inside a carwash in the Paleostinian town, located south of Nablus.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said its medics carried out resuscitation efforts on the pair after they were hit by gunfire. They were both declared dead at the scene shortly afterward.
The victims were later identified as Shay Silas Nigrekar, 60, and his 28-year-old son Aviad Nir, residents of Ashdod.
The Israel Defense Forces said it had launched a manhunt for the assailant and closed off a number of roads in the area.
The terrorist approached the carwash on foot and shot up the two Israelis from close range with a handgun, according to the IDF’s preliminary investigation. The terrorist then expeditiously departed at a goodly pace, apparently on foot.
The two men, who were not residents of the area, were believed by the army to have been in Huwara for a number of hours on Saturday before the attack, carrying out various personal errands. Some goods and services are cheaper in the West Bank than in Israel, drawing some customers across the border. The attack occurred as the pair were standing by their car while it was being washed.
A shuttle bus driver from Ashdod said he met the victims at a store that fixed air conditioners minutes before the shooting.
The driver, Avi Elharrar, told Channel 12 there hadn’t been many Israeli vehicles in the area.
"I was there with them and talked with them," the driver said. "They asked if I was also from Ashdod and we got to talking. We talked a little bit then the father said, ’I’m going to the carwash outside.’ He went out for a carwash. When we heard gunshots, we hit the gas and got away."
"There were gunshots and we immediately got out of there," he said. "I gave their friend a lift. I’m never going back there. It’s frightening."
The Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terror groups praised the attack, calling it "heroic" and "a natural response to the crimes of the occupation."
Settlers throw rocks at Palestinian cars, homes in West Bank
[IsraelTimes] Settlers reportedly attack Paleostinian property in the West Bank, likely in Dire Revenge for a deadly terror shooting earlier in the day in the town of Huwara.
According to Paleostinian media reports, settlers throw rocks at homes in a neighborhood in Huwara, and at a vehicle near the town of Baytin, northeast of Ramallah.
Settlers also throw rocks at Paleostinian vehicles driving by the settlement of Yitzhar, north of Huwara, according to reports.
