Palestinian Authority police officers conducted terror attack in West Bank, PA to probe attack
The two terrorists behind the deadly Thursday attack in the West Bank were members of the Palestinian Authority's security services, Palestinian and Israeli media reported.
The two were named by local media as Mahmoud Yusef Abed and Malek Ibrahim Salem, both 23. They recently returned to the West Bank after completing their studies in Qatar.
The two carried out a combined shooting and stabbing attack at the Gush Etzion junction, murdering 22-year-old Israeli Shalev Zevuloni. They were both killed at the scene of the attack by Israeli security forces.
Mahmoud Yusef Abed was from the town of Halhul in the Hebron Governorate, and Malek Ibrahim Salem was from the town of Bizzaria, west of Nablus. Eyewitnesses claimed that the terrorists arrived in a stolen vehicle armed with knives, stabbed Zevuloni, who was a security guard, and stole his weapon to carry out the shooting.
