(Nov.11- 21:42) An Israeli man was killed in a terrorist attack on Sunday night shortly before 8:00pm. A suspicious male was seen near the entrance to Moshav Kfar Hess in the Lev HaSharon Regional Council, inside Green Line Israel, about ten kilometers (six miles) northwest of PA-controlled Kalkilya.
The security officer of Kfar Hess was dispatched to the entrance of the community to investigate the suspicious person. As he approached, a lone terrorist opened fire, gravely wounding him and injuring two others in the area. The security officer died of his injuries shortly after the shooting. A second man sustained moderate injuries to his legs and a third victim was lightly wounded. The two wounded victims were transported to Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba.
Police, army and other forces acted quickly to seal down the area, closing down Route 57. A helicopter was ordered into the air and a manhunt is still underway for the terrorist. A note left on the scene of the attack, written in Arabic, detailed the attack, leading police to believe with almost certainty that the fatal shooting was a nationalistically motivated terrorist attack.
Security forces believe the terrorist fled on foot or by motorcycle. The manhunt is concentrating on orchards in the area.
