The killer, a driver, snatched a security guard's weapon, and opened fire on Palestinian workers in his vehicle.
This afternoon, a Jewish terrorist, Asher Weisgan of the settlement of Shvut Rahel in the West Bank, killed three Palestinians and critically wounded two others in the nearby settlement of Shilo, Ynet reports. The wounded Palestinians have been taken to Hadassa Ein Kerem hospital.
Weisgan, a bus driver, picked up two Palestinians in the Shilo industrial zone. He then approached the security under the pretext of needing a glass of water. He threatened the guard with a knife and snatched his weapon.
At about 17:00, Weisgan opened fire on the Palestinians in his vehicle and killed them. He continued into the industrial zone, and again opened fire, killing another Palestinian and wounding two more. The settlement's security officer captured Weisgan and handed him over to the police and army. Ambulances then arrived on the scene to evacuate the wounded to hospital.
Today's attack follows the incident at Shfaram two weeks ago in which a Jewish terrorist killed three Arab Israelis on a bus. He himself was then killed by the mob that gathered round the bus.
