Father killed in front of daughter, 12

A Palestinian gunman broke into an Israeli settlement early today, killing an Israeli man and wounding his 12-year-old daughter in their home, the army said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack on the Avnei Hefetz settlement near the Palestinian town of Tulkarem. Palestinian gunmen have repeatedly targeted isolated settlements, particularly during the Jewish Sabbath when more residents are at home.
