BARKAN, WEST BANK: A Palestinian gunman shot dead two Israelis and wounded a third on Sunday in an industrial park next to a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli military said.The assailant, the military said, had worked in a factory where the shooting took place.Israel´s national ambulance service said a man and two women were shot in the attack in the Barkan industrial area, where nearly 5,000 Palestinians are employed in Israeli-owned businesses. Army spokesman Jonathan Conricus said the 23-year-old Palestinian had worked in the Barkan industrial zone, where the attack took place in the occupied West Bank. The suspect, a 23-year-old Palestinian, had a permit to work in the industrial zone, army spokesman Jonathan Conricus said, adding that Israel is treating the incident as a terrorist attack. Conricus said the suspect was not known to authorities and was not believed to belong to a Palestinian militant group, saying it appeared to be a "lone wolf" attack. Last month, a Palestinian teenager stabbed an Israeli to death at a junction at the entrance to a large bloc of Israeli settlements in the West Bank near Jerusalem. The industrial zone is located next to the Israeli settlement Barkan and near the settlement of Ariel in the north of the West Bank . "I am certain that they will apprehend him and I am also certain that we will deal with him to the fullest extent of the law and quickly," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the start of his weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem.
