Jerusalem, Aug 19 (Ajit Weekly News) A Palestinian man has killed an Israeli security guard with a hammer in an industrial zone in the occupied West Bank, in what the Israeli army described as “a terror attack”.

The victim was rushed to Beilinson Hospital in Israel but was pronounced dead later in the evening, Xinhua news agency reported, citing the Israeli army and hospital statements.
