And again and again... 1 Israeli murdered, 1 wounded in Samaria shootings

An Israeli was murdered at a gas station in Samaria this morning, and two hours later another Israeli has been wounded in a shooting near Azoun.

In the second shooting attack within two hours Wednesday afternoon, an Israeli was seriously wounded near Nebe Elias near Azoun in the West Bank.

Earlier Wednesday an Israeli was shot and killed in an apparent terrorist attack at a gas station just outside the West Bank settlement of Migdalim, southeast of Nablus.

Two armed Palestinians arrived at the gas station on foot and shot the Israeli, who worked as a gas attendant there, in the head, after which they fled the area in a waiting car.

Large IDF forces at the scene were searching for the assailants.

In addition, an investigative team from police national headquarters was sent to the scene.

The decision to dispatch a police investigative team to a scene of an alleged terror attack, according to Israel Radio, was rare, and indicated that security forces had not ruled out the option of a criminal motive for the killing.

The Aksa Martyr's Brigades, however, claimed responsibility for the attack, according to the Associated Press.

I see that withdrawing expelling Jews from Gaza has brought lots of 'peace and security.'
