On the morning of 7 October 2018, a Palestinian gunman opened fire on several Israeli civilians in the Barkan Industrial Park, killing two and critically injuring another.[1] The shooting incident was declared a "terrorist attack" by the IDF.[2][3] It was the first attack in the park and the second fatal attack in the West Bank to occur in three weeks.[4]
The attacker, a 23-year-old Palestinian, had worked in the factory where the shooting took place.[2][5][6]
IDF forces conducted an intensive two-month manhunt to capture the militant who fled the scene.[2] The IDF arrested some relatives of the assailant.[7]
