Terrorism

'Palestinians' gun down Israeli Jew

Victim of second shooting hospitalized in serious condition

Two Palestinian Arab gunmen mercilessly gunned down a gas station manager on the outskirts of the Samarian Jewish community of Migdalim south of Shechem Wednesday afternoon.

Eldad Abir, 48, suffered critical gun shot wounds to his head in the attack and died during efforts to save his life.  Abir is survived by his wife and two children.

The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades "military wing" of PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction claimed credit for the murder. The killers managed to escape into nearby Palestinian Authority-controlled areas.

A short time later, an Israeli motorist was seriously wounded in the neck by terrorist gunmen in a passing vehicle near the Samarian town of Kalkilya.

Following Hamas' landslide victory in January's Palestinian Legislative Council election, Fatah leaders said their party's transition to the opposition would allow it to assume a leading role in the terrorist war against Israel's Jews.
