The Times of Israel reports: Israeli security forces on Monday detained the brother and sister of the terrorist suspected of shooting dead two Israelis and wounding a third in a brutal attack in the northern West Bank a day earlier, as a massive manhunt for the killer continued.

On Sunday morning, Ashraf Walid Suleiman Na’alowa, 23, entered the offices of the Alon Group in the Barkan Industrial Park, near the settlement-city of Ariel, armed with a locally produced Carlo-style submachine gun, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
