Ashraf Naalwa, 23, from the
northern West Bank village of Shuweika , has been named by the Israeli occupation
army as the Palestinian behind Sunday’s attack in the occupied West Bank industrial area of Barkan where two Israelis
were killed and a third wounded.
Regime soldiers, as well as
police and Shin Bet internal security officers “operated in the village of Shuweika
It said security forces
“arrested” an unspecified number of people suspected of aiding the attacker
while a manhunt for the gunman was still underway.
A spokesman for the Shin Bet said
they had arrested Naalwa’s brother, while his sister was “detained, questioned
and released”, declining to provide further details.
Naalwa was employed at the same
plant in the northern West Bank site as his two
victims - Kim Levengrond Yehezkel, 28, and Ziv Hagbi, 34.
The industrial zone is located
next to the Israeli colony of Barkan and near the colony of Ariel in the north
of the West Bank .
Palestinians work side by side
with Israelis in the industrial zone.
A third woman also shot in the
attack was hospitalized in stable condition.
Levengrond Yehezkel, who was
buried late Sunday, had been bound to a chair by Naalwa with cable ties before
being shot, according to her father.
Naalwa used a homemade gun, known
locally as a “Carlo”, according to the occupation army, in what security forces
believe was a “lone-wolf attack,” meaning he was not part of any organization
or acting on its behalf.
