Barkan terrorist killer subject of major manhunt

Israeli officers leading the manhunt believe that the Palestinian terrorist, who murdered Kim Levengrund-Yehezkel and Ziv Hajbi and injured another woman at the Barkan industrial park on Monday, had help in getting away from the scene. While the official story until now termed the killer, a Palestinian of 23, a lone wolf, DEBKAfile’s military and counter-terrorism sources report that officers engaged in the operation now conclude that he was backed by a team of accomplices, who trained him for the attack, provided the semi-automatic rifle which he used and waited nearby to extricate him from the scene without delay.
