Once there, he snatched a security guard's gun and turned it on his passengers. Police later arrested him. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon called the attack a "Jewish terror act." Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas branded it "a terrorist incident." Both leaders said it aimed to disrupt Israel's pullout from Gaza, home to 1.4 million Palestinians. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. Medical officials said that after shooting dead two Palestinians in his car, the settler fired at others in the industrial zone, killing another Palestinian and wounding two.

Sharon, who casts the pullout from Gaza and a corner of the West Bank as "disengagement" from 4 1/2 years of fighting with the Palestinians, has said there will be no withdrawal under Nobody has less sympathy for the Paleos than I, but if these guys were simply trying to make a living and were killed by someone who agreed to drive them, then murdered them, then it's just as despicable as any other terrorist murder.
