Two Israeli security guards were shot dead overnight Friday in a shooting attack at the Nitzanei Shalom industrial zone, near the West Bank city of Tul Karm.
The bodies of the two middle-aged men were discovered Friday morning in a factory where in the industrial zone, on the boundary between Israeli territory and the Palestinian-ruled city.
Security officials said the attack was terror related. They suspect a militant from the Islamic Jihad organization infiltrated the industrial zone and opened fire at close range.
There were no other casualties reported and no Palestinian militant group immediately claimed responsibility.
Rescue teams were on the site and security officials were searching the area for the gunman, who is believed to have fled into Tul Karm.
