Reuters
A Palestinian man with security clearance to work at a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank opened fire at a checkpoint on Tuesday, killing two Israeli security guards and a paramilitary policeman, Reuters reports.
The assailant, who was armed with a pistol and also seriously wounded a fourth Israeli, was shot dead, police said.
A police spokeswoman said the gunman approached Har Adar among a group of Palestinians who work at the settlement, and aroused the suspicion of guards at the entrance checkpoint.
Challenged to halt, the Palestinian "opened his shirt, drew a pistol and fired at the security staff and troopers at close range," the spokeswoman said.
