Palestinian Attacks West Bank Settlement

World | April 3, 2004, Saturday // 00:00

A Palestinian gunman broke into an Israeli settlement early Saturday, killing an Israeli man and wounding his 12-year-old daughter in their home, the army said. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack on the Avnei Hefetz settlement near the Palestinian town of Tulkarem. Palestinian gunmen repeatedly have targeted isolated settlements, particularly during the Jewish Sabbath when more residents are at home. The violence came after Prime Minister Ariel Sharon revealed the scope of his withdrawal plan, saying Israel will pull out from all of Gaza and evict several hundred Jewish settlers from the West Bank enclaves of Ganim, Sanur, Homesh and Kadim within a year.
