Two days after terror attack, factories reopen in Nitzanei Shalom
By Yuval Azoulay, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Nitzanei Shalom, terror 

Two days after two Israeli security guards were shot dead in a shooting attack at the Nitzanei Shalom industrial zone, near the West Bank city of Tul Karm, the workers returned to their factory jobs Sunday.

Management said that 85 percent of the factory workers were present. 500 of the 700 workers at the industrial zone are Palestinians from Tul Karm.

Security officials suspect a militant from the Islamic Jihad organization infiltrated the industrial zone and opened fire at close range. The bodies of the two middle-aged men were discovered Friday morning.

An investigation into the shooting by Shin Bet, Israel Defense Forces and the factories themselves is still ongoing.

The two guards were apparently screening Palestinians workers coming in when the gunman approached them, opened fire and then escaped, the military said.

The funeral of one of the victims, Eli Wasserman, 50, of Alfei Menashe, was held on Sunday.
